Meningococcal disease serogroup C [PDF]
Risk Management and Healthcare Policy, 2012 Despite current advances in antibiotic therapy and vaccines, meningococcal disease serogroup C (MDC) remains a serious threat to global health, particularly in countries in North and Latin America, Europe, and Asia. MDC is a leading cause of morbidity, mortality, and neurological sequelae and it is a heavy economic burden.

The elusive meningococcal meningitis serogroup: a systematic review of serogroup B epidemiology [PDF]
BMC Infectious Diseases, 2010 Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD), is a widely distributed, complex human disease affecting all age categories. The causative agent, Neisseria meningitidis, is spread through aerosol respiratory droplets. 13 different serogroups have been identified, each with varying epidemiological features including prevalence, virulence, immunogenicity ...

New serogroup of Legionella pneumophila, serogroup 8 [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1983 A strain of Legionella pneumophila (designated Concord 3) was isolated from a postmortem lung specimen of a patient with pneumonia. Direct fluorescent-antibody and immunoelectrophoresis tests, using absorbed and unabsorbed reagents prepared to this and other strains of legionellae, indicated that the Concord 3 strain represents a new serogroup of L ...

Serogroup F, a new capsule serogroup of Pasteurella multocida [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1987 Four capsule serogroups (A, B, D, and E) have been described by using passive hemagglutination tests. Serogroups A and D predominant in pasteurelloses of avian species. A new capsule serogroup of Pasteurella multocida has been isolated from turkeys in Arkansas, California, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, New Jersey, and Virginia.

Serogrouping of Rhodococcus equi [PDF]
Microbiology and Immunology, 1983 AbstractThe serological relationships among 27 isolates of Rhodococcus equi selected from a total of 1,195 isolates were investigated by cross‐agglutination and absorption tests. The presence of capsular material was demonstrated in all the 27 isolates by electron microscopic observation.

Identification of streptococci: serogrouping by immunofluorescence [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1975 This paper deals with the fluorescent antibody (FA) method for identifying six commonly occuring and two rare groups of streptococci by using commercially prepared (Difco) conjugates. We have shown that group-specific FA produced frequent cross-reactions with heterologous groups of organisms.
