The SeroSTAT latex agglutination test (Scott Laboratories, Inc., Fiskesville, R.I.) for identification of group D streptococci was compared with bile-esculin agar and Lancefield grouping by using 110 clinical isolates of group D streptococci (S. faecalis, 74; S. bovis, 24; S. durans, 3; S. faecium, 9) and 65 viridans streptococci (S. anginosus-constellatus, 2; Streptococcus MG, 15; S. sanguis II, 14; S. mitis, 7; S. mutans, 5; S. salivarius, 8; S. sanguis I, 8; S. acidominimus, 1; S. morbillorum, 2; S. pneumoniae, 3). All strains of group D streptococci were bile-esculin positive. SeroSTAT reactions were falsely positive with 2 strains of S. sanguisII and 1 strain of Streptococcus MG (4.6% of all viridans streptococci tested) and falsely negative with 10 S. bovis, 8 S. faecalis, 1 S. durans, and 6 S. faecium strains (22.7% of all group D streptococci tested). When considered with colonial morphology and hemolytic reaction, SeroSTAT is a rapid (60-s) and useful test for recognition of group D streptococci.
采用110株D群链球菌(粪肠球菌74株、牛链球菌24株、耐久链球菌3株、屎肠球菌9株)和65株草绿色链球菌(咽峡炎链球菌-星座链球菌2株、MG链球菌15株、血链球菌II 14株、缓症链球菌7株、变形链球菌5株、唾液链球菌8株、血链球菌I 8株、嗜酸链球菌1株、麻疹链球菌2株、肺炎链球菌3株),将用于鉴定D群链球菌的SeroSTAT乳胶凝集试验(Scott Laboratories公司,罗德岛州菲克斯维尔)与胆汁七叶苷琼脂试验和兰斯菲尔德血清学分型法进行比较。所有D群链球菌菌株胆汁七叶苷试验均为阳性。SeroSTAT试验对2株血链球菌II和1株MG链球菌出现假阳性反应(占所有检测草绿色链球菌的4.6%),对10株牛链球菌、8株粪肠球菌、1株耐久链球菌和6株屎肠球菌出现假阴性反应(占所有检测D群链球菌的22.7%)。结合菌落形态和溶血反应来看,SeroSTAT是一种快速(60秒)且有助于识别D群链球菌的试验。
