[Specific activity of colored variants of N. meningitidis colonies].

open access: yesZhurnal mikrobiologii, epidemiologii i immunobiologii, 1980
The character of fluorescence of the colonies formed by serogroup A meningococci (229 strains) in oblique light and their activity in the agglutination test with group specific S and RD antisera to the meningococcal dissociant of the same serogroup were studied. Orange and orange-green colonies were found to have pronounced group-specific activity, and
