Evaluation of a microplate latex agglutination method (Verotox-F assay) for detecting and characterizing verotoxins (Shiga toxins) in Escherichia coli.

The performance of a commercial microplate latex agglutination assay, the Verotox-F assay, was compared with that of the Vero cell assay for the detection and characterization of Escherichia coli verocytotoxins (VTs). Culture filtrates of 68 VT-positive E. coli strains (65 human isolates [33 of serotype O157:H7/H-, 32 of non-O157 serotypes] and 3 reference strains) and 104 VT-negative strains (...

Latex agglutination test for detection of Escherichia coli serotype O157.

The value of a latex agglutination test (Escherichia coli O157 latex test; Oxoid Ltd.) for rapid presumptive detection of E. coli serotype O157:H7 was determined by laboratory trials and during an outbreak of hemorrhagic colitis. The latex test was found to be a simple, highly efficient and reliable test in detecting E. coli O157:H7 with 100% sensitivity and specificity. It was also found that ...

Development of a Latex Agglutination Method for Diagnosis of Rotavirus Infections

Background: Rotavirus is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among children with gastroenteritis. Since the discovery of rotaviruses, several techniques have been used for their laboratory diagnosis; those included Electron Microscopy (EM) and enzyme immunoassay. These methods, however, are expensive and not readily available everywhere. We have developed a technique which can be used for ...

Evaluation and optimization of a latex agglutination assay for detection of cholera toxin and Escherichia coli heat-labile toxin.

The effectiveness of a latex agglutination assay kit for the detection of Escherichia coli heat-labile toxin and cholera toxin was determined for the identification of natural isolates of the corresponding enteric pathogens in Southeast Asia. By selection of the appropriate culture media, the sensitivity of the assay was improved from 90.6% (for the detection of heat-labile toxin) and 75% (for ...
