Summary
An account is given of O-relationships between the groupsSalmonella (O-antigens 1–52),Arizona (O-antigens 1,2–1,33)Escherichia (O-antigens 1–142 and OX 1–OX 13) andShigella (O-antigens A1–A10, B 1a–B6, C1–C15 and D). Through cross agglutination studies and absorption tests the instances of O identity in antigens of the different groups were determined.
