Use of an enzyme immunoassay test for characterizing the A and M antigens of Brucella
Abstract
An enzyme immunoassay test was developed for detecting the A and M antigens of brucellae. One hundred fifteen isolates, including 96 strains of Brucella abortus, 5 strains of B. suis, 1 strain of B. melitensis and 1 strain of B. neotomae, were accurately serotyped with the enzyme immunoassay test. No reactions were observed with 11 isolates of B. canis and 1 isolate of B. ovis. This rapid serological test provides for considerable savings in time and materials as compared with the standard tube agglutination test.
