A comparison of two different methods in T‐typing 200 Norwegian group A strains is reported. The traditional agglutination technique was compared with the co‐agglutination method of Christensen and co‐workers. Fifty‐five strains could not be typed by either method. The typing results for 128 of the strains were in agreement. The most common T types were the following: 1, 4, 8, 12, 13, 28, and strains belonging to the T pattern 5/11/12/27/44.
