| Abstract: | The cell wall carbohydrates of 43 strains ofHaemophilus ducreyi isolated in different parts of the world were subjected to lectin analysis using commerical panels containing 14 different plant lectins of known specificity. Preliminary evidence indicated both intrastrain and inter-strain variation in cell wall carbohydrate composition. In addition, it was possible to group strains from different geographical areas by lectin agglutination patterns. Lectin typing might thus become a useful marker system for epidemiological investigation ofHaemophilus ducreyi infections. |
