Lectin typing of beta-haemolytic streptococci of groups A and B

A. Munoz, A. Lopez and J. Llovo
Department of Microbiology and Parasitology, Faculty of Biology, University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain.

Patterns of agglutination of 124 clinical isolates of beta-haemolytic streptococci (30 group A and 94 group B isolates) by 21 commercial lectins are reported. Cell suspensions were untreated. Nine (30%) of the group A isolates, and 23 (24%) of the group B isolates, were agglutinated by at least one of the lectins. Ten different patterns of agglutination were observed with group A and 15 with group B streptococci. No pattern, except that of non-agglutination by any lectin, was common to group A and group B isolates. In view of the growing interest in the use of lectin typing there is a need for standardisation of assay procedures to enable meaningful comparison of the results of different research groups.
