title: [Use of rapid agglutination in the serotyping of the Mycobacterium avium intracellular complex].
abstract: The authors describe a new method of the typification of mycobacteria by rapid (droplet) agglutination. This technique is of the same specificity as slow agglutination; however, it is simpler and practicable for normally equipped tuberculosis-testing laboratories. It is suitable for the use in typification as one of the differentiating techniques as well as for preliminary differentiation of mycobacteria from primocultures.
