A Comparative Study of the Capsular Reaction and the Agglutination Test in the Typing of Pneumococcus
نویسنده
چکیده
As early as 1902, Neufeld observed that the capsulated pneumococcus showed a peculiar change when it was treated with its specific antiserum, but for a number of years the important practical value of this reaction had not been realized and until our knowledge that there are several serological types of pneumococcus was fully established this reaction had not been utilized in the typing of the organism. Later on, Neufeld and Etinger-Tulcynska (Topley and Wilson, 1936; Armstrong; 1932; Logan and Smeall, 1932; Sabin, 1933) and a number of

Polymerase chain reaction typing of Pasteurella multocida capsules isolated in Iran
Capsules from a range of pathogenic bacteria are the key determinants of virulency. The capsule hasbeen implicated in virulence of Pasteurella multocida. In this study a type-specific polymerase chain reaction(PCR) assay was used for capsular typing of 39 avian P. multocida isolates from Iran. The PCR amplified afragment of 1044 bp from all of tested isolates. It was found that all avian P. mul...
متن کاملSimple, rapid latex agglutination test for serotyping of pneumococci (Pneumotest-Latex).
The "gold standard" for epidemiological typing of Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is the capsular reaction test (Neufeld test) with antisera against the 90 pneumococcal polysaccharide capsules, i.e., serotyping. The method is labor intensive and requires a certain level of experience to be performed satisfactory, and thus it has been restricted for use in specialized reference or resear...
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...

ABSTRACT: Of the antisperm immunoglobulins ,only antisperm surface IgA an IgGs are significant clinically because many fertile men have antisperm antibodies present in their sera. Since the necessity of one form of sperm surface antisperm test(specific)is felt in our country,and Immunobead is not popular here for its high cost,Mixed Antiglobulin Reaction test was studied in a population of inf...
متن کاملCharacterization, ribotyping and capsular PCR typing of Pasteurella multocida isolated from Iranian sheep and goats
Pasteurella multocida is considered to be an important cause of ovine pneumonia and results causes considerable economic losses in Iran. Ribotyping PCR (Ribo-PCR) was used for investigating the diversity of ovine and caprine P.multocida. A total of 120 swab tonsil and nasal samples were obtained from sheep and goats. They were analyzed by biochemical tests and Ribo-PCR 16S-23S ribosomal RNA gen...
