We grouped 78 oral isolates and reference strains of Eikenella corrodens, Bacteroides ureolyticus, Wolinella succinogenes (Vibrio succinogenes), and Campylobacter spp. serologically by using the microagglutination technique. The four species of oral organisms (E. corrodens, Bacteroides gracilis, Wolinella recta, and Campylobacter concisus) were clearly differentiated from each other on the basis of agglutination with rabbit antisera produced against representative live organisms. Agglutination patterns showed both a lack of intergroup relatedness among the oral isolates and a lack of serological identity with the biochemically similar organisms W. succinogenes, B. ureolyticus, and Campylobacter species.", }
