title: [The adhesive properties of meningococci from serogroups A, B and C].
abstract: The adhesive properties of 261 meningococcal strains have been studied by the methods of the hemagglutination test, the test of adhesion on buccal epithelial cells and electron microscopy. The study has revealed that adhesive properties can be observed in the strains of all groups under study (A, B and C) isolated from patients and carriers, including those isolated from the nasopharynx, blood and liquor, adhesive properties occurring in newly isolated strains with greater frequency than in museum ones. The simultaneous use of all three above-mentioned methods increases the possibility of the detection of meningococcal strains with adhesive activity.
