Serological studies of Bacteroides vulgatus from normal gut flora.
A serological classification scheme for 48 strains of Bacteroides vulgatus was established by agglutination technique. Bacterial strains were isolated in our laboratory from gut flora of healthy persons. Absorbed antisera to 11 strains of B. vulgatus were prepared. All 48 strains tested reacted with one or more antisera. Among these strains, 22 serogroups were formed; 11 of them contained only one group component and 11 were made up of multiple group components.
