Abstract
The Phadebact and Bactigen reagents were evaluated for detection of Neisseria meningitidis in cerebrospinal fluids. The Bactigen test yielded stronger agglutination reactions from clinical specimens and was significantly more sensitive when used with whole-cell suspensions and purified antigens.
