Lectins detecting group C streptococci

F Ottensooser et al. Infect Immun. 1974 May.

Abstract

Lectin of Wisteria floribunda specifically agglutinates group C streptococci. The reaction is strongly inhibited by N-acetyl-d-galactosamine, slightly by lactose, and not at all by galactose. The utility of the simple test of the lectin with group C streptococci is discussed.
