Grouping of streptococci by Streptex
Abstract
Streptex was compared to routine laboratory identification methods available. The results from Streptex sometimes required several attempts before final identification could be achieved. In the main, group D streptococci other than Strep. faecalis failed to group with the Streptex antisera, and this method cannot therefore be used exclusively as a means of identifying this group of streptococci.
