Rapid latex particle agglutination test for Escherichia coli strains of porcine origin producing heat-labile enterotoxin.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A latex particle agglutination test previously shown to be suitable for the rapid identification of Escherichia coli strains of human origin producing heat-labile enterotoxin (R. A. Finkelstein and Z. Yang, J. Clin. Microbiol. 18:23-28) is equally applicable to strains of porcine origin.

Rapid test for identification of heat-labile enterotoxin-producing Escherichia coli colonies.
A latex particle agglutination test is described which is suitable for the recognition of heat-labile enterotoxin-producing colonies of Escherichia coli immediately after primary culture on a variety of commonly used enteric diagnostic media. The test is simple and economical to perform, and the results are available in minutes.
متن کاملEvaluation of a reversed passive latex agglutination test for detection of Escherichia coli heat-labile toxin in culture supernatants.
One hundred strains of Escherichia coli were tested for the production of the heat-labile enterotoxin by the Y1 adrenal cell test and a commercially available reversed passive latex agglutination test. The strains were grown in Casamino Acids-yeast extract broth, and filtered culture supernatants were tested for the presence of heat-labile enterotoxin. There was perfect correlation between the ...
متن کاملThe liposome PCR assay is more sensitive than the Vibrio cholerae enterotoxin and Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin reversed passive latex agglutination test at detecting cholera toxin in feces and water.
Practical detection of cholera toxin (CT) by a liposome PCR (LPCR) immunoassay was compared to that of an established V. cholerae enterotoxin and Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin reversed passive latex agglutination (VET-RPLA) assay. LPCR detected CT in the range of 10 pg/ml to 100 ng/ml in simulated feces and environmental water. Detection by VET-RPLA required at least 4 to 19 ng/ml CT.
متن کاملGM1 ganglioside enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection of heat-labile enterotoxin produced by human and porcine Escherichia coli strains.
Human and porcine enterotoxigenic strains of Escherichia coli were cultivated in tryptone-yeast extract medium or brain heart infusion broth and tested for production of heat-labile enterotoxin by the GM1 ganglioside enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (GM1-ELISA) and the Y1 adrenal cell assay. When testing for enterotoxigenicity by the GM1-ELISA technique, homologous antisera for human and porci...
متن کاملEnterotoxigenic Escherichia coli causing cholerogenic syndrome during an interepidemic period of cholera in North India.
A study was undertaken to look for heat-labile enterotoxin producing Escherichia coli (LT-ETEC) in patients with acute watery diarrhea resembling cholera in Chandigarh in North India. Two periods were selected, an interepidemic (2001) and an epidemic (2002) period. Heat-labile enterotoxin (LT) was detected using reverse passive latex agglutination test. LT-ETEC strains were serotyped and antimi...
