You are here: Home » Microbiology Notes » Streptococcus: serological classification
how to classify? acid-hydrolyze the cell wall and add in antibodies against specific antigens
then, link these antibodies to latex and look at the clustering of the beads
group B antigen represents only two species; other groups have many species. some species can express different groups of antigens
group C, F, G are less virulent than group A Strep, but you get the same diseases
group D is now known as Enterococcus; Pneumococcus was never known as Strep
