The surrogate of protection against invasive meningococcal disease is the presence of serum bactericidal activity (SBA) at a titer ≥4 in an assay using human serum as the complement source (hSBA). However, for various practical and logistical reasons, many meningococcal vaccines in use today were licensed based on a modified SBA assay that used baby rabbit serum as the complement source (rSBA)....
To evaluate the serogrouping-based diagnosis of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli, a total of 1,130 strains of E. coli isolated in several countries were studied. The strains were regarded as enterovirulent on the basis of their O-antigens determined using a commercially available kit containing 43 antisera, and the presence of diarrhea-associated genes (eae, stx, aggR, est, elt, ipaH) was evaluat...
The finding that enterotoxigenic (ET) Escherichia coli strains from many geographic areas belong to a limited number of serogroups led investigators to hope that polyvalent antisera could be used to screen for ET E. coli in areas of the world where more complicated tests of toxigenicity are not available. We compared the serotypes of 207 ET E. coli strains obtained from patients attending the D...
OBJECTIVE To assess the safety and immunogenicity of a quadrivalent meningococcal (groups A,C,Y,W) polysaccharide diphtheria toxoid conjugate vaccine (MenACYW-DT) in India. DESIGN Open-label, descriptive, non-randomized study. SETTING Three medical college hospitals, one each in New Delhi, Bengaluru and Mumbai, India. PARTICIPANTS 300 healthy, vaccine-naïve participants (100 children aged...
To the Editor: Legionnaires’ disease is a systemic infection caused by gram-negative bacteria belonging to the genus Legionella. The primary clinical manifestation is pneumonia. Legionella spp. are typically found in natural and artificially hydrated environments. Legionella pneumophila is the species responsible for ≈90% of human cases of infection. L. pneumophila is divided into 15 serogroups...
The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of Shigatoxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) and STEC serogroups O157, O111 and O113 in feces, water and milk sampled in dairy farms in Jaboticabal, SP, Brazil. Feces (n=454), water (n=54) and milk samples (n=30) were collected from 10 herds and assessed for the presence of the virulence genes stx1, stx2 and eae by polymerase chain reacti...
Legionella pneumophila accounts for the majority of cases of Legionnaires' disease. By using rabbit antisera, the species has been divided into 14 numbered and 1 unnumbered serogroups. To recognize the antigenic diversity of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) responsible for this classification, the Dresden Legionella LPS MAb panel, containing 98 monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), was created. Each serogr...
Several antimicrobial compounds have been used in commercial meat processing plants for decontamination of pathogens on beef carcasses, but there are many commercially available, novel antimicrobial compounds that may be more effective and suitable for use in beef processing pathogen-reduction programs. Sixty-four prerigor beef flanks (cutaneous trunci) were used in a study to determine whether...
The frequency of complement deficiency in 176 of 7,732 patients with meningococcal disease in the Netherlands from 1959 through 1992 was assessed. Complement deficiency was found in six patients (3%): 3 (7%) of the patients with Neisseria meningitidis serogroup C disease, 1 (2%) of the patients with N. meningitidis serogroup A disease, and 2 (33%) of the patients with infections due to uncommon...
A total of 221 strains of Aeromonas species isolated in Mexico from clinical (161), environmental (40), and food (20) samples were identified using the automated system bioMérieux-Vitek. Antisera for serogroups O1 to 044 were tested using the Shimada and Sakazaki scheme. The K1 antigen was examined using as antiserum the O7:K1C of Escherichia coli. Besides, we studied the antimicrobial patterns...
