Abstract
Antigens were extracted with EDTA from 32 strains representing 10 Clost ridium spp. When these antigens were examined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, marked cross reactions were observed between C. difficile, C. sordellii and C. bifermentans. The cross reactive antigen, visualized by crossed immunoelectrophoresis, was carbohydrate.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
