[Use of the growth inhibition test, the CFT, and the agar gel diffusion precipitation test to identify mycoplasmae isolated from monkeys].
The data are presented on comparative evaluation of the growth inhibition test (GIT), the diffuse precipitation test in agar gel (DPTAG) and the complement fixation test (CFT) in the identification of Mycoplasma isolated from monkeys. The results obtained in the study of 4 Mycoplasma strains from the internal organs of monkeys in the CFT and the DPTAG with hyperimmune rabbit sera provided by Microbiological Associates, Bethesda, Maryland, USA, allowed these Mycoplasma to be identified as M. laidlawii (l 6916, p 6240 and M 6802) and M. hominis (C 7034), which was confirmed by the study of the biological properties of these strains and in the GIT. The CFT and the DP-TAG, equally to the GIt and other serological tests, can be used for identification of newly isolated Mycoplasma strains.
