Abstract
A reagent and test for the identification of the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Lipopolysaccharide antigen, found to be common to N. gonorrhoeae strains, is used to inoculate fowl, and serum from the fowl recovered containing antibodies causing agglutination of cells of all N. gonorrhoeae strains. The identification test comprises adding the recovered antibody reagent to a suspension of bacterial cells, the occurrence of cell agglutination being a positive test for N. gonorrhoeae.
