Detection of Shigella dysenteriae type 1 and Shigella flexneri in feces by immunomagnetic isolation and polymerase chain reaction
1 Nov 1992
Abstract excerpt
A combination of immunomagnetic separation (IMS) and a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) procedure was used for direct isolation and identification of Shigella dysenteriae type 1 and Shigella flexneri from feces. Immunomagnetic particles were coated with monoclonal antibody MASFB, which is specific for a common epitope of the O polysaccharides of S. dysenteriae type 1 and S. flexneri. Bacteria bound to the beads...
