Molecular Characterization of Group B Streptococcus Serotypes By Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction

OBJECTIVE: Group B Streptococcus (GBS) serotypes (Ia, Ib and II to IX) are classified based on variations in their capsular polysaccharide; their prevalence differs between different geographic areas. We examined the prevalence of all GBS serotypes in rectal and vaginal swab samples obtained from 363 pre...

Antisuero AA479: nuevo reactivo para la serotipificación de variantes atípicas se Shigella flexneri
AA479 antiserum: new reagent for the serotype characterization of atypical variants of Shigella flexneri

Rev. argent. microbiol; 47 (1), 2015
Shigella flexneri is divided into 13 serotypes based on the combination of antigenic determinants present in the O-antigen. A new O-antigen modification with phosphoethanolamine has been identified. The presence of this antigenic determinant (called E1037) is recognized by monoclonal antibody MASF IV-1. ...
