[Trial of a staphylococcal reagent containing protein A in the coagglutination reaction for identifying enteroviruses].

The results are presented of identification in the neutralization (NT) and coagglutination tests (CT) of 90 enterovirus strains isolated from patients with aseptic meningitis and from water bodies. In CT, a staphylococcal reagent sensitized with type-specific sera to enteroviruses and mixtures of these sera was used. Comparison of the results obtained in NT and CT showed the rate of coincidence to be 66.7% and 78.9%, respectively.
