Serotyping of Serratia liquefaciens: H-antigens
1Institut für Medizinische Mikrobiologie und Hygiene, Universität des Saarlandes, Homburg.
Abstract:
Polyclonal anti-H rabbit immune sera differentiated 12 flagellar (H) antigens among 79 motile of 83 clinical isolates of Serratia liquefaciens from 81 patients. Seven of the anti-H S. liquefaciens sera cross-reacted with H-antigens of S. marcescens, specifically anti-S. liquefaciens H6, H7, H8, H9, H10, H11, and H12 with S. marcescens H-antigens H7, H8, H12, H14, H5, H3, and H17, respectively. These cross-reactions were reciprocal.
