Abstract
Summary
Colicines of group B produced by antigenically distinct strains of Escherichia coli may themselves be distinguished one from another antigenically. On the evidence from agglutination and precipitation experiments the antigenic behaviour of different B-colicines cannot be distinguished from that attributed to O-antigens of the bacteria producing them in culture. Attempts to separate individual factors for these antigenic and bactericidal properties were unsuccessful.
