Serogrouping of Legionella pneumophila by double diffusion and counter immunoelectrophoresis.
Ten serogroups of Legionella pneumophila have now been described.' Although the direct fluorescent antibody technique is widely used to identify and serologically differentiate L pneumophila isolates,2 some cross reactivity between serogroups3 and some staining of non-legionella organisms with legionella antisera4 have been reporrea. Several simple alternatives to the direct fluorescent antibod...
متن کاملSerological grouping of hemolytic streptococci by counter-immunoelectrophoresis.
The counter-immunoelectrophoresis (CIE) method of grouping streptococci was more sensitive than the capillary precipitin method. The precipitate was easier to read, and the test was simple to perform and required fewer reagents. An autoclave-Pronase-B extraction procedure is described and was found superior to either acid, Pronase-B, or the autoclave extraction procedures for recovering groupab...
متن کاملDecomposition of the Capsular Polysaccharide of Pneumococcus Type Iii by a Bacterial Enzyme
1. An organism has been isolated from peat soil which decomposes the specific capsular polysaccharide of Type III Pneumococcus. 2. The isolation has been made possible by the use of a synthetic mineral medium containing the specific polysaccharide as sole source of carbon. By repeated transfers in this medium the potential capacity of the organism to decompose the specific substance has been pr...
متن کاملPneumococcal Capsular Polysaccharide Vaccine
Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus [Pnc]) is a common bacterial agent found in mild mucosal as well as severe systemic infections. Local infections, such as acute otitis media, are rather common; every child has at least one during the first 2 years of life (1), and Pnc is the causative agent in approximately half of the bacterial culturepositive cases (2). Pneumonia is another disease ofte...
