Abstract: | FiftyErwinia herbicola isolates obtained from host plants were examined in an agglutination reaction with antiserum prepared againstE. ananas (E. herbicola) strain CCM 2407 antigen of plant origin and with antiserum prepared againstEnterobacter agglomerans strain CNCTC M 269 antigen of human origin. In tests with strain CCM 2407 antiserum, 56% isolates showed a positive reaction,
while in tests with strain CNCTC M 269 antiserum only 14 % isolates showed a positive reaction. AmongE. herbicola isolates which showed a positive reaction with CCM 2407 antiserum 18 % showed a positive reaction with the CNCTC M 269 antiserum
too. Our results confirmed the serological heterogeneity ofE. herbicola population. In spite of the difference in the origin of the two antigens used for the preparation of antisera (plant, human;
Japan, Czech Republic) our results indicate that some of ourE. herbicola strains andE. agglomerans strain CNCTC M 269 are serologically identical. |
