Titres and cross reactions of commercial antisera for the capsular typing of Klebsiella species.
نویسنده
چکیده
Ninety commercially supplied sera for the capsular typing of Klebsiella species were tested in a full chequerboard against 72 type strains. Only four of 144 homologous reactions could not be detected. Of the 6336 possible heterologous reactions, 91 actual cross reactions were found. All positive reactions were titrated and working dilutions deduced. This provides essential information for the successful typing of unknown strains with these sera.

A new serotyping method for Klebsiella species: evaluation of the technique.
A new indirect fluorescent typing method for Klebsiella species is compared with an established method, capsular swelling. The fluorescent antibody (FA) technique was tested with standards and unknowns, and the results were checked by capsular swelling. Several unknowns were sent away for confirmation of typing, by capsular swelling. The FA method was also tried by a technician in the routine d...

Epidemiological typing of Enterobacter aerogenes.
The applicability of Enterobacter cloacae and Klebsiella typing reagents for classifying clinical strains of Enterobacter aerogenes was evaluated. Of 75 strains, none were agglutinated by E. cloacae O antisera or were sensitive to E. cloacae bacteriophages. In contrast, 70 strains reacted with Klebsiella capsular antisera. Two-thirds of the strains were lysed by Klebsiella typing phages. A set ...

Reproducibility of capsular serotypes of 55 consecutive clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae was evaluated by an indirect immunofluorescent-antibody technique previously described by Riser et al. (J. Clin. Pathol. 29: 296-304, 1976) Five colonies per specimen were examined for colony-to-colony variation, day-to-day variation, and reader-to-reader variation. Seventy-two reference strains w...
متن کاملMolecular identification and capsular typing of Pasteurella multocida isolates from sheep pneumonia in Iran
Pasteurella multocida is known as one of the main organisms causing pneumonia in sheep. As immunity in pasteurellosis is serogroup specific, identification of prevalent capsular group among endemic areas is essential. The aim of this study was to molecular identification and determine of the capsular type of the P. multocida strains isolated from sheep pneumonia in Iran. Bacteriological and bio...
