Understanding O antigen and H antigen is essential in diagnostic microbiology, especially for serotyping of Salmonella and accurate laboratory diagnosis.
The shared notes and video cover:
🔹 Introduction to serological identification
🔹 Definition and structure of O antigen (somatic antigen)
🔹 Definition and structure of H antigen (flagellar antigen)
🔹 Key features and immunogenic differences
🔹 Detailed comparison between O and H antigens
🔹 Role in Salmonella serotyping and epidemiology
🔹 Clinical significance in enteric fever and outbreak investigations
This resource is particularly useful for microbiology students, laboratory professionals, and those preparing for BSc, MSc, MPhil, and competitive exams.
