Experiment six Serological Diagnosis of Bacterial Infection
Serological Identification of Salmonella Select the specimen React with A-Z polyvalent antiserum Agglutination reaction (+) (-) React with several individual types of anti-O and anti-H antiserum React with anti-Vi antiserum Identify its group and phage
Serological diagnosis • Classification: agglutination precipitation • Samples: ASO test ------ Streptococcus Widal’s test ------ S. typhi and paratyphi Weil-Felix Test ------ Richettsia
Introduction • It is a serological approach for the diagnosis of typhoid and paratyphoid fever in clinical laboratory. • This is a test for the measurement of H and O agglutinins of typhoid and paratyphoid bacilli in patient’s sera. • To assist to diagnosis typhoid fever or other salmonella infection.
Materials • Antigens: • Suspension of S. typhi "O" antigen, O • Suspension of S. typhi "H" antigen; H • Suspension of S. paratyphi A "H" antigen, PA • Suspension of S. schottmuelleri "H" antigen, PB • Antibody: serum of suspected patient • Normal saline • Test tubes and pipettes

Observation: 1. Control tube: no agglutination (-) 2. Lowest titer tube: absolutely agglutination (++++) 3. Other tubes: three quarters agglutination(+++) half agglutination (++) one quarter agglutination (+) no agglutination (-) Judgment: Agglutination titer: the highest dilution of serum which appears (++) bacteria agglutination.
Interpretation of results • Dynamic observation • – A gradual rise of antibody titers • – Titer of convalescence serum ≥4 times of that of early specimen • False negative • – Preantibiotic • – Immunosuppressed

Precautions • Make the mark • Make sure the procedure • carefully use the pipettes • Correctly Judge the results
