Serotyping of Streptococcus pneumoniae strains by coagglutination.
The coagglutination test, which uses staphylococcal protein A, for serotyping strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae, was extended to include serotyping within serogroups. Serotyping was performed with "factor sera" prepared in the laboratory. Fifty one strains of S pneumoniae, which belonged to one of the seven serogroups included in the 14 valent vaccine formulation, were tested, and no inconsis...

متن کاملIdentifying non-capsulate strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae isolated from eyes.
Over six months 10 biochemically and physiologically atypical strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae were isolated from eye swabs. Conventional methodology showed that these strains possessed characteristics of both S pneumoniae and other alpha haemolytic streptococci. The use of sodium dodecyl sulphate - polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) enabled us to characterise these strains as S p...
متن کاملIdentification of Streptococcus pneumoniae by the Phadebact coagglutination test.
The Phadebact Pneumococcus Test is a coagglutination slide test for the serological identification of Streptococcus pneumoniae. Of 200 alpha-hemolytic streptococcal isolates, coagglutination test results agreed with those of optochin susceptibility and bile solubility in 189 cases, 105 of which were identified as S. pneumoniae by all three methods. The Phadebact test was 100% (113 of 113) sensi...
متن کاملIdentification of Streptococcus pneumoniae revisited.
The sensitivities and specificities of several different diagnostic assays for Streptococcus pneumoniae were assessed using 99 clinical isolates of S. pneumoniae and 101 viridans streptococci and were as follows: Pneumoslide, 99 and 87%, respectively; Directigen, 100 and 85%, respectively; Phadebact, 100 and 98%, respectively; deoxycholate drop test, 99 and 98%, respectively; deoxycholate tube ...
