Use of the Streptosec test for grouping beta-haemolytic streptococci.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Streptosec test, which embodies the coagglutination principle for grouping beta-haemolytic streptococci, was used against 72 streptococci previously grouped by precipitin methods. Only two of the 72 strains failed to react. The test is easy to manipulate, represents a considerable saving in time and effort, and produces results with an acceptable degree of accuracy.

Grouping of beta - haemolytic streptococci by agglutination CSF
Streptococcal grouping sera, diluted and absorbed to remove cross-reactions, were bound to staphylococci and used to group trypsinised beta-haemolytic streptococci by coagglutination. The results compared well with those obtained using the Phadebact streptococcal grouping kit. The same sera bound to staphylococci without prior dilution and absorption could be used to group enzyme extracts of ha...

A new method for the serological grouping of streptococci by coagglutination with specific antibodies absorbed to protein A-containing staphylococci has been assessed. A total of 242 strains of streptococci, including beta-haemolytic streptococci of groups A, B, C, F, and G, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Strep. faecalis were studied. All streptococci of groups A, B, C, and G, groupable by standa...
متن کاملRapid discrimination between strains of beta haemolytic streptococci by intact cell mass spectrometry.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Beta haemolytic streptococci belonging to Lancefield group A, B, C and G cause a wide spectrum of clinical diseases. Hence there is a need for rapid and accurate typing of these strains. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the use of intact cell matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) for rapid discrimination b...

Clinical, epidemiological and microbiological studies have conclusively shown that the diagnosis of streptococcal infections based on clinical symptoms always requires microbiological verification. Beta-haemolytic streptococci are the most frequently isolated human pathogens among the representatives of the genus Streptococcus. Nearly all the beta-haemolytic streptococci possess specific carboh...
