Abstract
This paper deals with serological classification of 23 entomopathogeni c Bacillus sphaericus isolates obtained in soil from several regions o f Brazil. All the isolates are pathogenic to Culex quinquefasciatus an d belong to the serotype H5. This serological characterization showed that among Brazilian Bacillus sphaericus isolates there are no regiona l differences. The serology protocol was adaptated and seemed to be co nvenient because it decreased the reaction time and quantity of materi al.
