Hemagglutinin Typing as an Aid in Identification of Biochemically Atypical Escherichia coli Strains

Pamela B Crichton 1, S M Ip 1, D C Old 1
PMCID: PMC274004  PMID: 7334072

Abstract

Tests for the presence of mannose-sensitive and mannose-resistant, eluting hemagglutinins and fimbriae were helpful in indicating whether biochemically atypical strains of the tribe Escherichieae might be escherichiae or shigellae.
