The phenomenon of agglutination depends essentially on the union of molecules in the bacteria -- the agglutinogens -- with the corresponding agglutinins, but another essential is the presence of a certain amount of salts in the fluid, as it can be shown that when agglutinated masses of bacteria are washed salt-free the clumps become resolved.
