Strains of Actinomyces viscosus of rat and hamster origin, known to be morphologically and biochemically similar, appeared identical when compared by agglutination reactions, fluorescent antibody staining, and gel diffusion. Reference strains of known Actinomyces species were easily differentiated f...
