Immunofluorescent identification of Type 12 group A streptococci.
The fluorescent antibody (FA) conjugate prepared by labeling streptococcal M type 12 antibody with fluorescein isothiocyanate was found to exhibit considerable nonspecific FA staining with other group A M-serotypes. The cross-reactions could be reduced sufficiently or eliminated by the addition of adsorbed homologous blocking serum (AHB) but not by preimmune serum. The AHB was prepared by adsor...
متن کاملRAPID IDENTIFICATION OF GROUP A STREPTOCOCCI BY PYRROLIDONYL-β-APHTHYLAMIDE HYDROLYSIS
In a clinical trial a new pyrrolidonyl-β-naphthylamide (PYR) hydrolysis test was compared with the bacitracin disk susceptibility test for accuracy in the presumptive identification of group A streptococci (GAS). Among 128 isolates of beta-hemolytic streptococci 93 group A isolates were found. The sensitivity of the PYR and bacitracin tests were similar (98.9%), but the bacitracin test had ...
متن کاملIdentification of a highly encapsulated, genetically related group of invasive type III group B streptococci.
Type III group B streptococci (GBS) isolated from Tokyo and Salt Lake City were classified according to the similarity of HindIII and Sse83871 restriction digest patterns (RDPs) of bacterial DNA. The bacteria were clustered into three RDP types, with excellent correlation between subtyping based on the two enzymes. The majority (91%) of invasive isolates obtained from neonates were RDP type III...
متن کاملIdentification of group A streptococci by direct fluorometry.
A simple direct fluorometric method for rapid identification of group A streptococci is described. The method permits the detection of the organism in mixed cultures without the aid of a microscope and is amenable to automated processing of specimens. Experience with the indirect fluorometric method revealed that nontrypsinized cells from a 10-fold dilution of overnight broth cultures could be ...
متن کاملImmunodiffusion method for identification of group A streptococci.
The development of a method suitable for identification of group A streptococci by microprecipitation in gels is described. The method is based on preparation of specific sera containing high antibody levels agains the antigenic determinant characteristic of group A streptococcal polysaccharide. In a comparative study with a counterimmunoelectrophoresis method, the proposed test proved to be sp...
