We evaluated a new immunochromatographic assay (Oxoid Xpect Legionella test kit) for the ability to detect Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 antigen in urine. The results were compared with those obtained with the Binax NOW urinary antigen test by following the manufacturers' instructions. The sensitivities and specificities were estimated to be 89 and 100%, respectively, for the Oxoid Xpect Legionella test kit and 86 and 100%, respectively, for the Binax NOW test.
我们评估了一种新型免疫层析检测法(奥克索德Xpect军团菌检测试剂盒)检测尿液中嗜肺军团菌1血清型抗原的能力。按照制造商的说明,将结果与使用Binax NOW尿液抗原检测法获得的结果进行比较。奥克索德Xpect军团菌检测试剂盒的敏感性和特异性估计分别为89%和100%,Binax NOW检测法的敏感性和特异性分别为86%和100%。
