Methods: Polymerase chain reaction, latex agglutination, and other alternate methodologies to micro-biological culture have been applied in various studies to the detection of Streptococcus pneumoniae. Some of these tests have been shown to be more sensitive indicators of pneumococcal infection. In our ...
A latex agglutination test detecting a heat-stable, low-molecular-weight carbo- hydrate antigen in the urine of VL patients has shown promising initial results106,107. Several studies conducted in East Africa and the Indian subcontinent showed good specificity but only low to moderate (48–87%) ...
MRSA was detected in 18 out of 29 cases (62.1%) by PCR compared to only 5 cases detected by latex agglutination test (17.2%). In conclusion: Phenotypic methods can be used for MRSA isolation but must be confirmed by other laboratory tests. Detection of mecA gene using PCR remains the ...

The latex agglutination test: standardization and comparison with direct agglutination and dot-ELISA in the diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis in India. This lack of specificity makes LAT unsuitable for routine diagnosis of VL even though it is rapid and sensitive. DAT still appears to be the best...

The isolated strains were identified as Nm, Hi, or Sp by colony morphology, latex agglutination of specific antisera (Slidex Meningitis-Biomerieux), Gram staining and optochin susceptibility, the latter only for Sp determination. Comparison of PCR-based methods for the simultaneous detection of Neiss...
