Saline test for streptococcal haemolysin.

Staphylococcus delphini and Methicillin-Resistant S. pseudintermedius in Horses, Canada

ecologic interactions between genetically diverse strains (8). In this report, we describe a single case; comparison of disease severity of scrub typhus caused by mixed and single genotype infections should be studied further. Simultaneous infection with multiple antigenic strains of O. tsutsugamushi was detected in an individual mite, Leptotrombidium arenicola (9), a probable vector of scrub t...

Evaluation of Pyrrolidonyl Arylamidase Activity in Staphylococcus delphini.

Clinical reference textbooks lack data for pyrrolidonyl arylamidase (PYR) activity in Staphylococcus delphini This study evaluated PYR activities of 21 S. delphini strains by reference broth, rapid disc, and rapid slide methods. Species and subgroup identifications were confirmed by nucleic acid-based methods and included nine group A and 12 group B strains. Testing by rapid PYR methods with pr...

Haemolysin test for characterization of immune ABO antibodies.

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Antibodies with haemolytic properties are common within the ABO system. These lytic antibodies are immunoglobulin G (IgG) and in high titres cause haemolysis during blood transfusion. Information on Immunoglobulin types and concentration of ABO haemolysins in Indian population is lacking. The present study was undertaken to know the usefulness of haemolysin test for char...

Anti-gamma haemolysin as a diagnostic test in staphylococcal osteomyelitis.

The anti-alpha-haemolysin test is widely used in the diagnosis of staphylococcal osteomyelitis. An additional test would be welcomed because raised antibodies to this antigen are not seen in all proven cases. This communication reports that anti-gamma-lysin was present in the serum of most of the 19 patients with proven staphylococcal osteomyelitis studied here. In two cases followed up after c...
