Development of a TaqMan Array Card for Pneumococcal Serotyping on Isolates and Nasopharyngeal Samples
Streptococcus pneumoniae is both a commensal and a major pathogen that causes invasive disease in people of all ages. The introduction of serotype-specific pneumococcal vaccines has reduced the burden of disease but has also led to replacement with new strains; thus, serotyping remains important for vaccine-related disease surveillance. Conventional serotyping methods are laborious and expensiv...
متن کاملEvaluation of pneumococcal serotyping by multiplex PCR and quellung reactions.
Screening of 1,750 pneumococcal isolates for common serotypes by PCR was followed by Quellung reaction analysis of PCR-negative isolates with a comparison to the conventional (Quellung reaction only) approach. PCR agreed with Quellung reaction results for 99% of isolates. The sequential PCR/Quellung reaction algorithm is accurate and more cost-effective than the conventional approach.

متن کاملCharacterization of Chinese Haemophilus parasuis Isolates by Traditional Serotyping and Molecular Serotyping Methods
Haemophilus parasuis is classified mainly through serotyping, but traditional serotyping always yields non-typable (NT) strains and unreliable results via cross-reactions. Here, we surveyed the serotype prevalence of Chinese H. parasuis isolates using traditional serotyping (gel immuno-diffusion test, GID) and molecular serotyping (multiplex PCR, mPCR). We also investigated why discrepant resul...
متن کاملChallenges of using molecular serotyping for surveillance of pneumococcal disease.
Recent advances in the molecular identification and serotyping of Streptococcus pneumoniae are useful for culture-negative samples; however, there are limitations associated with these methods. We aimed to assess the value of molecular assays for invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) surveillance in South Africa from 2010 through 2012. Nonviable isolates and culture-negative clinical specimens we...
