Rapid and Reliable Identification of Staphylococcus aureus Capsular Serotypes by Means of Artificial Neural Network-Assisted Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy
9 May 2013
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus capsular polysaccharides (CP) are important virulence factors and represent putative targets for vaccine development. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop a high-throughput method to identify and discriminate the clinically important S. aureus capsular serotypes 5, 8, and NT (nontypeable). A comprehensive set of clinical isolates derived from different origins and control...
