[Erythrocyte reagents for detecting antibodies to species-specific staphylococcal antigens]

Antigenic species-specifics (S. aureus and S. epidermidis) erythrocyte diagnosticums have been obtained with the use of different loading methods. The cross reaction of passive hemagglutination with homologous and heterologous sera have demonstrated that conjugation with amidole ensures the maximum effectiveness and species specificity of diagnosticums in comparison with other conjugation methods.
