Development and preliminary evaluation of a slide latex agglutination assay for detection of Clostridium perfringens
Journal of Immunological Methods
|June 26, 1987
Abstract:
A slide latex agglutination (SLA) assay was developed for rapid screening for Clostridium perfringens type A enterotoxin (CPE). SLA specifically detected CPE added to buffer or normal feces (sensitivity limit of 1 microgram CPE/g feces). Using clinical fecal samples from C. perfringens food poisoning cases, a strong correlation was shown between SLA results and results from other CPE assays and between SLA results and illness status.
