Taxonomy of Clostridium bifermentans and Clostridium sordellii III. Agglutinability of Heat-Resistant Substrains of Clostridium sordellii

Abstract: By cross-agglutination tests with Clostridium bifermentans and C. sordellii antisera, the heat-resistant substrains from each pathogenic strain of C. sordellii were found to possess antigens of C. bifermentans in addition to displaying changes in biological activities. The agglutinability and biological activities varied with the sporulating potency acquired. Agglutinin-absorption tests further proved that heat-resistant substrains of C. sordellii were immunologically identical to C. bifermentans.

“…The manner in which heat is related to the appearance of aberrant biotype must still be elucidated. In a previous paper we demonstrated, by use of C. bifermentans, that loss of sporulating ability gave rise to diversity in biological properties, toxigenicity, and immunological properties (12,16,21). Recent investigations in spore genetics demonstrated similar results (2, 18,19).…”
