Abstract
The whole-cell carbohydrate patterns of 14 Haemophilus-like strains is olated from diseased birds were examined by capillary gas chromatograp hy/mass spectrometry. The analysis of the peracetylated aldononitrile and O-methyloxime derivatives allowed the differentiation between the phenotypically and genetically different isolates. Starting from a pur e culture the procedure needs only 5 hours for the preparation of the samples and 30 minutes for subsequent analysis and is of special value for rapid diagnosis.
