Growth inhibition and" neutralization" of Mycoplasma mycoides by immune bovine serum: I Development of a liquid medium test. Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences. 325-336. https://www.cabidigitallibrary.org/doi/full/10.5555/196822034870077-8923https://kalroerepository.kalro.org/handle/0/5029In 1954, Edward and Fitzgerald! reported that when antisera to various species of pleuropneumonia-like organisms (Mycoplasmataceae) were incorporated in culture medium, growth of the homologous organism was inhibited. Complement was not required for this inhibition. They further suggested that there was a similarity between inhibition of growth of mycoplasma and virus neutralization. Bailey, Clark, Felts and Brown2 used an inhibition-of-growth test based on that of Edward and Fitzgerald to study the growth-inhibitory properties of specific antibody on Mycoplasma hominis. Huijsmans-Evers and Ruys3 described a method of inhibiting human genital mycoplasma on solid medium by application of antiserum-saturated paper discs, and later Clyde4 modified and extended this method to identification of mycoplasma isolated from the human pharynx and from tissue culture.enhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Journal ContributionGrowth inhibitionNeutralizationSpeciesMycoplasma mycoideshttps://www.cabidigitallibrary.org/doi/full/10.5555/19682203487
