Serotyping of Chlamydia psittaci by the Micro-Immunofluorescence Test: Isolates of Ovine Origin

François Eb 1, Jeanne Orfila 1
PMCID: PMC347678  PMID: 6752025

Abstract

The micro-immunofluorescence test was successfully applied to seven ovine isolates which could be separated into two distinct immunotypes. The pattern of reactivity was similar to that elucidated by the plaque reduction test and confirmed by growth characteristics and biotyping.
