Rapid slide latex agglutination test for detection of methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus.
The MRSA screen test (Denka Seiken Co., Ltd.), a commercially available, rapid (20-min) slide latex agglutination test for the determination of methicillin resistance by detection of PBP 2a in Staphylococcus aureus, was compared with the oxacillin agar screen test and PCR detection of the mecA gene. A total of 563 S. aureus isolates were tested. Two hundred ninety-six of the isolates were methi...
متن کاملRapid detection of methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus isolates by the MRSA-screen latex agglutination test.
The slide agglutination test MRSA-Screen (Denka Seiken Co., Niigata, Japan) was compared with the mecA PCR ("gold standard") for the detection of methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus. The MRSA-Screen test detected the penicillin-binding protein 2a (PBP2a) antigen in 87 of 90 genetically diverse methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) stock culture strains, leading to a sensitivity of ...
متن کاملRapid latex agglutination test for extraluminal amoebiasis.
AIMS To develop a rapid latex agglutination screening test for invasive amoebiasis. METHODS The performance of an in-house latex agglutination test was compared with three standard serological techniques--the immunofluorescent antibody test (IFAT), the indirect haemagglutination test (IHA), and the cellulose acetate precipitin (CAP) test. Forty six sera were screened; 12 from negative control...
متن کاملRapid latex agglutination test for rubella antibody.
The latex agglutination card test (Rubascan) for the detection of rubella antibody was compared with the standard hemagglutination inhibition and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay tests. There was complete agreement with sera which had hemagglutination inhibition titers of >/=16. Sera with low levels of antibody which were positive in the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, however, gave negativ...
متن کاملReliability of latex agglutination tests for identification of Staphylococcus aureus resistant to oxacillin.
Commercial latex agglutination tests (LATs) for the simultaneous detection of clumping factor and protein A are gaining increased acceptance as a means of identifying Staphylococcus aureus. We evaluated two LATs (Accu-Staph; Carr-Scarborough, Decatur, Ga.; Staphaurex; Wellcome, Dartford, England) with particular emphasis on their ability to correctly identify oxacillin-resistant S. aureus. We t...
