Abstract

ABSTRACT

Specific antigens occur in many lactobacilli which group them in a similar way to their physiological and genetic characteristics. These group antigens may be located in the cell membrane or the cell wall, and may be teichoic acids or polysaccharides. Type antigens with a narrower specificity also occur and a cell membrane teichoic acid antigen common to all lactobacilli and to some other genera has been isolated.
