ABSTRACT

ELLNER, PAUL D. (University of Vermont, Burlington), AND STANLEY S. GREEN. Serological grouping of the pathogenic clostridia. J. Bacteriol. 86:1098–1100. 1963.—By use of the soluble antigens of ten species of pathogenic clostridia and specific globulins, it has been possible to divide these organisms into a number of groups based upon the presence or absence of precipitin lines in agar gel. A scheme for such a grouping is presented, and the utility of this method is discussed.
