Pneumococcal serotypes causing pneumonia with pleural effusion in pediatric patients.
To determine the prevalence of serotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae responsible for pneumonia with pleural effusion, we determined the capsular polysaccharide (PS) type directly on 49 pleural fluid specimens collected from pediatric patients during 2007 to 2009 with laboratory-confirmed pneumococcal pneumonia by using monoclonal antibodies and a multiplex, bead array immunoassay. Because the f...
متن کاملSerotyping Streptococcus pneumoniae by multiplex PCR.
The capsule is a major virulence factor of pneumococci, and it was shown that some capsular variants are associated with antimicrobial resistance and certain types of disease. Moreover, pneumococcal capsular typing has received renewed interest since the availability of conjugate vaccines, which include serotypes frequently associated with pediatric disease. Our aim was to develop a simple, rel...
متن کاملSingle-Step Multiplex PCR Assay for Determining 92 Pneumococcal Serotypes.
For pneumococcal disease surveillance, simple and cost-effective methods capable of determining all serotypes are needed. Combining a single-tube multiplex PCR with fluorescently labeled primers followed by amplicon analysis using automated fluorescent capillary electrophoresis, each serotype of 92 reference isolates and 297 recently collected clinical isolates was successfully determined.
متن کاملSerotyping 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...
متن کاملEvaluation of semiautomated multiplex PCR assay for determination of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes and serogroups.
A semiautomated method for the determination of five serotypes and three serogroups in Streptococcus pneumoniae was developed. Primers specific for serotypes 1, 3, 14, 19F, and 23F and serogroups 6, 19, and 23 were combined in three multiplex PCRs. Products were separated by capillary electrophoresis with a 7-min run time, and a serotype or serogroup was assigned on the basis of fragment size. ...
