Antiserum to a purified type R lipopolysaccharide antigen isolated from Neisseria gonorrhoeae was used in a slide agglutination test and compared with conventional carbohydrate utilization and fluorescent antibody tests to confirm the identity of laboratory cultures classified as typical or "atypical" N. gonorrhoeae. Cultures of Corynebacterium vaginalis, N. meningitidis, N. catarrhalis, N. sic...

The seroprevalence of Leptospira spp. and infection risk factors were investigated in horses from a military contingent the Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. A total 446 evaluated categorized into 309 mares, 11 stallions, 126 with an average age three years. To determine seroprevalence, serum samples all submitted to microscopic agglutination test against 12 serovars belonging nine serogroups, u...
