Evaluation of smooth lipopolysaccharide based latex agglutination test in serodiagnosis of brucellosis

چکیده
In this study, sLPS antigen coated latex bead was prepared and their evaluation was done along with RBPT, commonly employed for the serodiagnosis of brucellosis. sLPS was extracted from Brucella abortus S99 and coated on polystyrene latex beads in a phosphate buffer saline coating buffer. A total of 200 samples were collected from unorganized dairy farm and tested with RBPT and sLPS based latex agglutination test. The accuracy, relative sensitivity and specificity of sLPS based LAT were found 99%, 93.55% and 100% respectively . This study conclude that sLPS based LAT can be used as an alternative screening test for bovine brucellosis.

Comparison of a dipstick assay for detection of Brucella-specific immunoglobulin M antibodies with other tests for serodiagnosis of human brucellosis.
A dipstick assay for the detection of Brucella-specific immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies was evaluated by studying the serological response of 133 cultures and or serologically confirmed patients with brucellosis in its different stages along with those of 34 healthy controls. As regards patients with illness less than 3 months in duration, 93.1% tested positive by the dipstick assay, a percen...

متن کاملEvaluation of Serum Agglutination Test in the Diagnosis of Pediatric Brucellosis
Background & Aims: Brucellosis is a public health problem in many developing countries, including Iran. Diagnosis is based on history, clinical manifestations and positive serum agglutination test (SAT) or Wright test. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of SAT in pediatric Brucellosis. Methods: In this prospective study, during 2 years, 52 patients with clinical feat...
متن کاملEvaluation of Polysaccharide-Based Latex Agglutination Assays for the Rapid Detection of Antibodies to Burkholderia pseudomallei
Melioidosis is a severe disease caused by the Gram-negative bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei. Diagnosis of melioidosis currently relies on the isolation of B. pseudomallei from clinical samples, which can take several days. An indirect hemagglutination assay (IHA) is widely used for serodiagnosis, but it has a short shelf life, is poorly standardized, and requires a viable bacteria culture p...

Brucella canis which is the main etiologic agent of brucellosis in dogs, can be transmitted to man. It causes mild or asymptomatic infection in human compared with other Brucella species. B.canis can be transmitted to man either by laboratory accidents or contact with infected dogs. Since B.canis infections in humans are not routinely investigated in hospitals in Turkey, the data are limited to...
