[Standardization of the determination of the fimbriae (adhesins) of Citrobacter].
Trials of guinea pig formalin-treated red cells have shown their stability for at least 3 years and fitness, equal to that of native cells, for the detection of Citrobacter mannose-sensitive and resistant adhesins in hemagglutination and adhesion tests (red cell binding of bacteria). Comparison of the results of bacterial binding and bacterial agglutination of red cells in tests on slides and in wells has shown that the use of fixed red cells accelerates agglutination and makes it more sensitive, probably at the expense of altering the red cell physicochemical characteristics by fixation. Use of formalin-treated red cells essentially simplifies Citrobacter adhesion determination and makes it possible in any conditions.
