Studies on serotyping of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
By means of an agar-gel double diffusion technique the existence of five serological types of Neisseria gonorrhoeae was revealed by demonstrating the antigens responsible for type specificity. Based on these findings a typing method has been developed using a microprecipitin technique in agar-gel. 381 gonococcal strains have so far been typed by means of five cross-absorbed rabbit antisera.
