| Popis: | The reliability of latex coagglutination testing for the serological grouping of hemolytic streptococci is limited by the relatively high incidence of false-positive reactions. Pretreatment of streptococcal suspensions with antisera for the various groups that show clumping gives a specific inhibition of the latex agglutination with the true group, whereas the other groups continue to agglutinate aspecifically. The method is rapid and easy to perform, allows the exact grouping of those streptococci giving aspecific reactions, and is also a useful confirmatory test with monoreactive strains. |
