چکیده
Modifications in the antiserum agar method for serogroup identification of meningococci, which reduce the amount of group-specific antisera required and increase long-term storage of prepoured antiserum agar plates, are described.

Use of antiserum agar plates for serogrouping of meningococci.
A convenient and reliable method for serogrouping meningococci, based on immunospecific precipitation haloes in antiserum-agar plates, is described. It gave concordant results with conventional slide-agglutination in 900 strains of groups A, B or C tested. The antiserum-agar can also be used as a primary isolation medium for detecting nasopharyngeal carriers of a certain serogroup if antibiotic...
متن کاملSerogroup identification of Neisseria meningitidis: comparison of an antiserum agar method with bacterial slide agglutination.
A serum agar method for serogrouping Neisseria meningitidis is described and compared with conventional bacterial slide agglutination. There was 93% agreement for 300 strains examined individually by each method. Among strains from serogroups A, B, C, Y, and W135, there was 100% correlation, whereas strains from serogroup 29E (Z') had only 67% correlation. The serum agar method was rapid, as we...
متن کاملComparison of three methods for identification of pathogenic Neisseria species.
A radiometric procedure was compared with the Minitek and Cystine Trypticase Agar sugar degradation methods for identification of 113 Neisseria species (58 Neisseria meningitidis, 51 Neisseria gonorrhoeae, 2 Neisseria lactamica, 2 Neisseria sicca). Identification of meningococci and gonococci was confirmed by agglutination and fluorescent antibody techniques, respectively. The Minitek method id...
متن کاملIdentification of Neisseria meningitidis serogroups Y and W135 by siaD nucleotide sequence analysis.
Rapid serogrouping of meningococci is essential for the effective public health management of cases of the disease and the contacts of infected patients. Here we describe an accurate nucleotide-sequencing method for the confirmation of serogroup Y and W135 meningococci by siaD gene analysis from cultures of Neisseria meningitidis.
