Abstract
The Streptosec test, which embodies the coagglutination principle for grouping .beta.-hemolytic streptococci, was used against 72 streptococci previously grouped by precipitin methods. Only 2 of the 72 strains failed to react. The test is easy to manipulate, represents a considerable saving in time and effort and produces results with an acceptable degree of accuracy.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
