Method for the serological typing of the capsular polysaccharides of Staphylococcus aureus

W W Karakawa et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1985 Sep.

Abstract

A method is described for typing Staphylococcus aureus capsular polysaccharides that is based on direct bacterial cell agglutination and immunoprecipitation of cell extracts with monospecific antisera. Encapsulated strains were identified by their inagglutinability with teichoic acid antisera. The typing sera reacted specifically with extracts of eight prototype strains.
