Abstract

A total of 387 yeasts from the contents of the digestive tracts of domestic animals and poultry were identified by slide agglutination tests using factor antisera and urease tests. The results of this serological test were very satisfactory with respect to accuracy and rapidity, particularly when performed in combination with concomitant physiological tests only for assimilation of inositol and potassium nitrate. It may be concluded that such a combination of serological and biological tests is very useful for identifying yeast strains from various sources.

Résumé

Trois cent quatre-vingt-sept souches de levures provenant des voies digestives d'animaux domestiques et de poulets ont été identifiées par les tests d'agglutination sur lame et de l'uréase. Les résultats de cette identification sérologique sont satisfaisants quant à la précision et à la rapidité et plus particulièrement lorqu'ils sont combinés avec les tests physiologiques pour l'assimilation de l'inositol et du nitrate de potassium. Cette combinaison des examens sérologiques et biologiques semble être utile à l'identification de nombreuses souches provenant de sources variées.
