A latex agglutination test for the identification of Legionella pneumophila serogroups 1 through 6 is described. The reagent is specific for L. pneumophila and enables the ready identification of L. pneumophila colonies on agar plates. Preliminary evidence suggests that latex agglutination enables the detection of soluble L. pneumophila antigens in respiratory secretions of patients suspected of having legionellosis.
本文描述了一种用于鉴定嗜肺军团菌血清群1至6的乳胶凝集试验。该试剂对嗜肺军团菌具有特异性,能够在琼脂平板上快速鉴定嗜肺军团菌菌落。初步证据表明,乳胶凝集试验能够检测疑似军团病患者呼吸道分泌物中的可溶性嗜肺军团菌抗原。
