Grouping of streptococci by Streptex.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Streptex was compared to routine laboratory identification methods available. The results from Streptex sometimes required several attempts before final identification could be achieved. In the main, group D streptococci other than Strep. faecalis failed to group with the Streptex antisera, and this method cannot therefore be used exclusively as a means of identifying this group of streptococci.

Streptococci from primary isolation plates grouped by reverse passive haemagglutination.
Reverse passive haemagglutination, a novel microtitre based assay, was compared with the Streptex (Wellcome UK) latex slide agglutination kit for streptococcal grouping in a diagnostic microbiology laboratory. Three hundred and fifty two extracts from 349 consecutive primary isolation plates were assayed by both methods. Reverse passive haemagglutination gave identical grouping results for 98.0...

متن کاملEvaluation of an improved Streptex kit for the grouping of beta-haemolytic streptococci by agglutination.
A modified Streptex kit in which the extraction procedure had been simplified was used to group 200 streptococcal strains. Positive reactions could be obtained with live colonies and over 90% of isolates were correctly grouped from primary isolation plates. Some minor cross-reactions were seen with Streptex, but these were not strong enough to cause any confusion and no isolates were incorrectl...
