  • Title: Comparative biotyping, bacteriocin typing, and serogrouping (O-antigens) of Serratia liquefaciens.
    Author: Traub WH.
    Journal: Zentralbl Bakteriol; 1991 Jun; 275(2):200-10. PubMed ID: 1718303.
    Abstract:
    A total of 83 clinical isolates of Serratia liquefaciens from 81 patients were biotyped, bacteriocin typed (with group A phage tail bacteriocins from S. marcescens), and serogrouped. Biotyping afforded least discrimination, because 71 of the 83 isolates (85.5%) comprised 2 biotypes; the remainder were of 5 different biotypes. Bacteriocin typing differentiated 70 of the 83 isolates (84.3%) into 20 types. Polyclonal rabbit anti-O immune sera identified 16 O-antigens, and all 83 isolates could be serogrouped.
