title: [Rapid diagnosis of Bacteroides using immunofluorescence].
abstract: Intestinal Bacteroides species belong to the most common causative agents of human anaerobic infections. Because their cultural diagnosis is complicated by the presence of a so-called "empty interval of diagnosis" lasting for several days, rapid diagnostic methods are of great significance. Due to the possibility of specific antigen detection the fluorescence antibody technique (FAT) is especially qualified for this purpose. The presented investigations demonstrate that the direct FAT should be preferred to the indirect method in the diagnosis of infections caused by intestinal Bacteroides species.
