Polymerase chain reaction-based methods and Quellung method were compared for serotyping of Streptococcus pneumoniae serogroup 6 for 230 isolates from Asian countries. Prevalence of serotype 6C differed according to the method used, with inconsistencies in 12 pneumococcal isolates (5.2%). Thus, evaluation of the prevalence of serotype 6C may differ according to the methods used.
聚合酶链反应(PCR)法和 Quellung 法用于对来自亚洲国家的 230 株肺炎链球菌 6 型血清群进行血清分型比较。6C 型血清型的流行率因所使用的方法而异,12 株肺炎链球菌分离株(5.2%)存在不一致性。因此,6C 型血清型的流行率评估可能因所使用的方法而异。
