A serial multiplex PCR approach was reformulated for pneumococcal serotyping to test 153 clinical isolates from children in Mozambique. This approach identified serotypes in 139 (90.8%) of 153 isolates; 126 (82.4%) were identified within two reactions. This approach in developing countries would require minimal training and could provide useful serotype information without requiring transport of specimens.
一种用于肺炎球菌血清分型的连续多重PCR方法被重新设计,用于检测莫桑比克儿童的153株临床分离株。该方法在153株分离株中的139株(90.8%)中鉴定出了血清型;126株(82.4%)在两个反应内被鉴定出来。这种方法在发展中国家所需的培训极少,并且无需运送标本就能提供有用的血清型信息。
