[O5-antigenic classification of Salmonella typhimurium isolated from outbreaks of Salmonella enteritis].
S. typhimurium (STM) were isolated from outbreaks of Salmonella enteritis and were studied for their reactivity to monoclonal antibody TMY1 specific for Salmonella O5-antigen with the following results; By using the bacterial agglutination test with TMY1, STM were classified into O5-antigenic molecule positive and negative (copenhagen type) strains, suggesting the usefulness of TMY1 as an exquisite epidemiologic tool for Salmonella enteritis.
