USE OF THE INDIRECT HEMAGGLUTINATION REACTION IN DETERMINATION OF BOTULINAL TOXIN IN INDUSTRIAL SAUSAGE MANUFACTURE

Abstract

Data are presented on the use of the indirect hemagglutination reaction for determination of botulism in sausages. The reaction proved to be sufficiently sensitive (in practice it was as sensitive as the biological test on animals); however, it was impossible to differentiate botulins of the A and B types with the aid of the existing sera. Indirect hemagglutination reaction may evidently be used for retrospective diagnosis when the biological test may have already given a negative result.
