Shigella Flexneri Serotypes: O-antigen Structure, Serotype Conversion, and Serotyping Methods
Oman Medical Journal, 2023 Shigella flexneri is the most common cause of shigellosis in developing countries. Up to now, 23 serotypes of S. flexneri have been reported. Different serotypes result from the addition of acetyl, glucosyl, or phosphatidylethanolamine groups on the O ...

O and H serotyping of Pseudomonas cepacia [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1983 Procedures for the preparation, absorption, and titration of Pseudomonas cepacia O and H rabbit antisera are described. Seven O antigens (O1 to O7) for the slide agglutination test and five H antigens (H1, H3, H5, H6, and H7) for the agglutination and H immobilization tests were determined. Nearly 300 strains of P.

O-antigen specificities of the serotype strains of Serratia marcescens [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1989 O antigens of the 24 O-serotype strains of Serratia marcescens were investigated in dot enzyme immunoassay with whole-cell antigens and by immunoblotting with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) antigens. Three pairs of strains, O2/O3, O6/O7, and O12/O14, had indistinguishable LPS antigens, despite having distinct specificities in agglutination tests with whole ...

A novel plasmid-encoded serotype conversion mechanism through addition of phosphoethanolamine to the O-antigen of Shigella flexneri. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Shigella flexneri is the major pathogen causing bacillary dysentery in developing countries. S. flexneri is divided into at least 16 serotypes based on the combination of antigenic determinants present in the O-antigen.
