ABSTRACT

SCHMIDT, JEAN M. (State University of Iowa, Iowa City) AND ROBERT L. RICHARDSON. Serology of Bacterionema matruchotii. J. Bacteriol. 83:584–589. 1962.—Serological relationships of Bacterionema matruchotii were studied by means of the complement-fixation reaction. A common complement-fixing antigen was demonstrated in 37 strains of this organism. Serological relationships to species in the genera Mycobacterium, Nocardia, Actinomyces, and Corynebacterium were shown by means of reciprocal complement-fixation adsorption studies. The close serological relationships among strains of Bacterionema matruchotii, and the broad serological cross-reactions with several other genera, support the establishment of this new genus.
