A latex agglutination test was developed and evaluated for the rapid presumptive identification of Pseudomonas pseudomallei, the causative organism of melioidosis. The test was 100% sensitive for 52 isolates of Ps pseudomallei and 100% specific when tested with other medically important Pseudomonas species and Enterobacteriaceae. A subsequent field trial, with clinical specimens from patients with suspected melioidosis, confirmed the sensitivity and specificity of the test.
已开发并评估了一种乳胶凝集试验，用于快速初步鉴定类鼻疽的病原体——类鼻疽假单胞菌。该试验对52株类鼻疽假单胞菌分离株的敏感性为100%，在用其他具有重要医学意义的假单胞菌属菌种和肠杆菌科细菌进行测试时，特异性为100%。随后对疑似类鼻疽病患者的临床标本进行的现场试验证实了该试验的敏感性和特异性。
