چکیده

A hybridization-ligation PCR assay was developed for the simultaneous detection and identification of 21 pneumococcal serotypes and 8 pairs of serotypes in the same serogroup: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 6C-6D, 7F-7A, 8, 9A-9V, 9N-9L, 11A, 14, 15B-15C, 16F, 17F, 18B-18C, 19A, 19F, 20, 21, 22A-22F, 23A, 23B, 23F, 28A-28F, 35B and 38. This novel assay was validated with 185 serotyped pneumococcal invasive clinical isolates and 57 culture-negative pleural fluids previously typed by real-time PCR.

Identification of less-common Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes by a multiplex PCR-based reverse line blot hybridization assay.

We developed a multiplex PCR-based reverse line blot (mPCR/RLB) assay to identify 50 uncommon pneumococcal serotypes. In combination with a previously described mPCR/RLB assay (3), all 90 pneumococcal serotypes can be identified individually (32 serotypes) or, because of predictable cross-reactions, to within small groups of two to five related serotypes (58 serotypes), which can be distinguish...

Original Article PCR deduction of invasive and colonizing pneumococcal serotypes from Venezuela: a critical appraisal

Introduction: Serotype surveillance of Streptococcus pneumoniae is indispensable for evaluating the potential impact of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines. Serotyping by the standard Quellung reaction is technically demanding, time consuming, and expensive. A simple and economical strategy is multiplex PCR-based serotyping. We evaluated the cost effectiveness of a modified serial multiplex PCR (mP...

Serotyping of Streptococcus pneumoniae isolated from Tehran by Multiplex PCR: Are serotypes of clinical and carrier isolates identical?

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common cause of invasive infections among both young children and elderly people. Common serotypes causing invasive diseases and the emergence of carriers of Streptococcus pneumoniae in Iran is not yet known. Past-vaccine surveillance studies of serotype prevalence patterns in Iran are necessary to monitor the epidemiology of Strept...
