title: [Serotyping of Proteus using a rapid system].
abstract: A rapid method for Proteus serologic typing is suggested, based on Soviet commercial diagnostic adsorbed type sera. The rapid system involves replacing two-staged typing with one-staged, making use of polyvalent sera constructed by uniting 8-9 type sera according to the suggested schemes. O- and H-antigens are types in accordance with special tables. Fifteen O-antigens and 4 H-antigens, whose total incidence among Proteus clinical strains is under 2 percent, cannot be typed with the use of this system. The suggested rapid system is suggested as a rapid simple method for typing Proteus clinical strains in intricate epidemiologic situations.
