Comparison of commercially available group B streptococcal latex agglutination assays.
Detection of group B streptococcus (GBS) antigen in urine by latex particle agglutination (LPA) may facilitate the rapid diagnosis of GBS sepsis. We sought to compare three commercial LPA assays with specimens that were spiked with type-specific antigen, group-specific antigen, or type III organisms. There were sensitivity differences between the assays, but the Bactigen assay performed best, d...
متن کاملLatex particle agglutination for detecting and identifying Clostridium difficile.
A total of 329 selective enrichment broth cultures were tested for detection of Clostridium difficile by latex particle agglutination (LPA), gas-liquid chromatography, and bacterial culture. Of 53 broths positive by LPA, 36 were positive by gas-liquid chromatography, and 42 were positive by bacterial culture. The sensitivity and specificity of LPA relative to bacterial culture was 95.6% and 96....
متن کاملRapid diagnosis of vaginal candidosis by latex particle agglutination.
Vaginal swabs from women who on clinical evidence were thought to have vaginal candidosis were examined for yeasts by conventional laboratory methods (microscopy and culture) and also assayed for Candida antigens using a rapid (3 min) slide latex particle agglutination tests. Results showed that a diagnosis of vaginal candidosis based on clinical criteria alone is unreliable: only half of the w...

Morton, Harry E. (University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia). Mycoplasma-latex agglutination reaction. J. Bacteriol. 92:1196-1205. 1966.-The building up of Mycoplasma cell mass through adsorption to carrier particles as a method for enhancing the agglutination reaction to identify Mycoplasma is described. Mycoplasma cells of human, avian, swine, goat, sewage, and tissue-culture origin were adsor...
متن کاملSimple DNA probe assays based on particle agglutination.
I describe the use of latex agglutination as a simple readout for DNA hybridization assays. Latex agglutina-tion is a well-known readout for antibody-based diagnos-tics (1, 2) and uses " sandwich " assay chemistry for which analogous DNA assays are well known (3, 4). Latex agglutination is extremely simple and chemically robust, and latex particles have been used as a label in DNA hybridization...
