Summary

Phase I cells of Bordetella pertussis but not those of B. parapertussis, B. bronchiseptica or B. avium were agglutinated by Limulus polyphemus lectin. Most strains of B. pertussis but not those of the other species were also agglutinated by Helix pomatia lectin. In precipitation reactions between lectins and purified Bordetella lipopolysaccharide (LPS) preparations a similar pattern occured. Lectin agglutination provides a rapid presumptive method for the differentiation of B. pertussis from B. parapertussis and other Bordetella species.
