[Serological studies on Staph. aureus strains from various processes of a disease of human origin (author's transl)]

This paper deals with serological studies on 332 Staph. aureus strains of human origin having been isolated from various sources. On the basis of typing with 17 factor sera, a great number of groups and types was obtained occurring among the strains of several processes of a disease without showing special serological structural formulae which would have been typical for pathological changes of certain localisation. But still deviations have been observed between the strains of most of the series of observation which proved to be significant differences of incidence and referred to several groups and types. In this isolated observation of the single factors, different antigen-structures occurred as result.
