Abstract

A fluorescent antibody technic for identification of Streptococcus agalactiae is described. Smears from colonies on blood agar plates were tested. A pool of conjugates to four different Streptococcus agalactiae antisera stained all the 80 Streptococcus agalactiae strains investigated. The pool proved superior to individual conjugates. Also strains of groups C and G were stained by the Streptococcus agalactiae conjugates. These, however, could be differentiated from Streptococcus agalactiae strains by examination of the controls because the conjugates of antisera to some group C strains stained group C and G strains but not Streptococcus agalactiae strains.
