Abstract
This study was done to determine whether nontypable (NT) group B streptococci from human sources possess unrecognized type antigens. Antisera were raised in rabbits against several NT strains and then tested with HCl extracts of 53 NT group B streptococci. One serum was strain specific, another was nonspecific in that it contained only R-protein antibodies, and a 3rd (NT1), although apparently type specific, reacted with only 5 strains. These results do not justify using NT1 serum in the group B typing system.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
