This study evaluated the usefulness of the Pneumotest-Latex assay for serotyping Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates directly in clinical samples. With an agreement of 88.1% with a PCR-based reference method, this test can be a useful tool for this study purpose, especially in clinical laboratories that do not have access to nucleic acid amplification technologies.
本研究评估了肺炎球菌乳胶试验(Pneumotest-Latex assay)直接对临床样本中分离出的肺炎链球菌进行血清分型的实用性。该试验与基于聚合酶链反应(PCR)的参考方法的一致性为88.1%,对于本研究目的而言,它可以成为一种有用的工具,尤其是在无法使用核酸扩增技术的临床实验室中。
