higella Flexneri Serotypes: O-antigen Structure, Serotype Conversion, and Serotyping Methods
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-antigen backbone and horizontal transfer of mentioned groups can lead to serotype conversion among S ...

To Serotype or Not To Serotype: That Is Still the Question [PDF]
In this issue of the Journal, the report by Banerjee et al. [1] on the postneonatal protective effect of a prior neonatal infection with G10P [11] rotavirus has important implications for rotavirus vaccinology. The protective efficacy of a neonatal rotavirus infection has been addressed previously by various investigators.

Cattle develop neutralizing antibodies to rotavirus serotypes which could not be isolated from faeces of symptomatic calves [PDF]
Neutralizing antibodies against 10 serotypes of rotavirus were measured in sera from different age groups of German cattle. Only five of 143 sera did not neutralize heterologous serotypes.

HUMAN ASTROVIRUS SEROTYPES [PDF]
SummaryTwo serotypes of human astroviruses are described. It is proposed that these should be called serotype 1 and serotype 2. Using antisera to these two types, 13 of 15 other community-acquired strains were able to be typed, 12 as serotype 1 and one as serotype 2.

Gel Diffusion Studies on Serotype and Serotype Transformation in Paramecium [PDF]
SUMMARY: Antigens G and E of stock 28 variety 2 of Paramecium aurelia show cross-reactions with their respective antisera in immobilization and gel diffusion tests. In immobilization tests the anti-E serum P, no. 132, shows the strongest cross-reaction; in gel diffusion tests the anti-G serum P, no. 130, cross reacts more strongly.

Serotype IX, a Proposed New Streptococcus agalactiae Serotype [PDF]
ABSTRACT We identified three isolates of Streptococcus agalactiae (group B streptococcus [GBS]), of human origin, which failed to react with antisera against any of the nine known GBS serotypes. Polyclonal rabbit antisera raised against these isolates and standard GBS typing sera were used in capillary ...

Multiplex PCR assays for simultaneous detection of six major serotypes and two virulence-associated phenotypes of Streptococcus suis in tonsillar specimens from pigs [PDF]
Multiplex PCR assays for the detection and identification of various Streptococcus suis strains in tonsillar specimens from pigs were developed and evaluated. In two separate reactions, five distinct DNA targets were amplified.

Serotyping of Clostridium difficile [PDF]
A total of 246 live Clostridium difficile cultures were serotyped by a slide agglutination technique. Fifteen grouping antisera were produced which serotyped 98% of the cultures (241 of 246). Our results indicated that certain serogroups may have specific pathogenicity.
