Abstract
Antisera from rabbits immunized with the synthetic disaccharide paratose .**GRAPHIC**. mannose, representative of Salmonella O-antigen 2, covalently linked to bovine serum albumin (BSA), were used in indirect immunofluorescence studies for the identification of Salmonella serogroup A (O-antigen 1,2,12) bacteria. Among 1311 enteric bacteria tested, 497 were Salmonella. The anti-paratose .**GRAPHIC**. mannose-BSA serum identified correctly all the 63 serogroup A strains tested. No positive reactions were recorded among 1248 strains representing Salmonella other than serogroup A, Escherichia coli, Shigella, Citrobacter, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Serratia, Proteus Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, Vibrio, Yersinia and Bacteroides. The study illustrates the high specificity of the antiserum elicited by immunization with the synthetic disaccharide-protein immunogen.Keywords
