A member asked:
How will agglutination reaction identify pathogenic bacteria?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bacteria: Agglutination reactions often measure antibodies that will cause the agglutination of artificial particles containing substances from the bacteria coating them. The antibody, if present, causes these particles to cluster together and agglutinate.
