Abstract
Rabbit antisera against endospores of Bacillus anthracis and Bacillus cereus were prepared and studied by agglutination tests. Antigens specific to the spore phase were shown to exist. The antigenic constitution of the endospores of both organisms is complex and in-cludes both intra- and inter-species agglutinogens. It was not possible to distinguish between the endospores of the 2 organisms by means of agglutination tests.Keywords
