Typing of Haemophilus influenzae by Coagglutination and Conventional Slide Agglutination

Microbiology Division, Pathology Department, University of California-Irvine Medical Center, Orange, California 92668

ABSTRACT

Coagglutination was compared with conventional slide agglutination for the typing of 297 clinical isolates of Haemophilus sp. A 100% correlation was found with the H. influenzae type b isolates. Coagglutination showed no false-positive reactions with the nontypable strains of H. influenzae and H. parainfluenzae isolates; however, conventional slide agglutination exhibited many false-positive and non-interpretable reactions.
