A Staphylococcal Coagglutination Test for Detecting and SerogroupingLegionella pneumophila

Comparison of Micro Neutralization Test with Hemadsorption-Inhibition Test, and Immunoflrorescence Technique for Detecting Mumps Antibodies

Simplified coagglutination test for serological grouping of beta-hemolytic streptococci.

A new coagglutination kit consisting of a plastic slide with dried antibody-coated staphylococci was evaluated for the grouping of beta-hemolytic streptococci of groups A, B, C, and G. The test was compared with the classical precipitation test, using hot formamide antigen extracts with 224 strains of groups A, B, C, and G streptococci. An agreement of 100% was found between the new coagglutina...

Comparison of staphylococcal coagglutination, latex agglutination, and counterimmunoelectrophoresis for bacterial antigen detection.

Soluble antigens of Haemophilus influenzae type b, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitidis, and group B streptococcus were looked for in cerebrospinal fluid, serum, and urine by using the staphylococcal coagglutination test, latex agglutination test, and counterimmunoelectrophoresis. The staphylococcal coaggultination and latex agglutination tests were more sensitive than counterimmuno...

Coagglutination test for rapid noncultural diagnosis of human Campylobacteriosis.

Forty diarrhoeic stool samples of domestic animal handlers in a rural area of India were cultured and screened for detection of Campylobacter jejuni by Co-agglutination technique (CoA). Seven C. jejuni strains were isolated by culture and 6 faecal samples gave positive CoA test. The specificity and sensitivity for negative and positive culture were 96.9% and 85.7% respectively. This is first re...
