Mutanolysin enhancement of serogrouping of single colonies of streptococci

Abstract: Single colonies of beta-hemolytic streptococci could be grouped by antibodycoated latex bead agglutination or coagglutination with staphylococci coated with antibody after incubation of the colonies with mutanolysin. This simple and quick procedure provided an enzymatic means of enhancing the sensitivity of tests such as Phadebact and SeroSTAT.

“…Pronase is not effective in the extraction of group D streptococci (4,5,10). Group D streptococci may be extracted with mutanolysin only after a 4-h incubation (1). Achromopeptidase, although effective for the extraction of some strains of group D streptococci, would not be acceptable for the serogrouping of that serogroup.…”
