Serological properties of 96 strains of Pseudomonas anguillisepticu isolated from eels Anguilla japonica and A. anguilla were studied by agglutination tests with rabbit antisera. All strains tested were confirmed to possess a common heat-stable O-antigen. However, they could be divided into two antigenic types on the basis of the reaction to antisera produced by heat-killed cells (O-antisera). One type (Type I)was inagglutinable with O-antisera in unheated state, and this inagglutinability disappeared with a heat-treatment of 100°C-120 min or 121°C-30 min. Another (Type II) lacked such an inhibitory substance. This thermolabile agglutinationinhibitory antigen of P. anguilliseptica seems to be comparable to K-antigen known in the Coliform group. The existence of H-antigen was also demonstrated in both of the types. It was also confirmed that slide agglutination method was applicable to rapid identification of P. anguilliseptica.
