SEROLOGICAL TESTS FOR SALMONELLA
Gold Standard:

A

Bacterial culture

36
Q

SEROLOGICAL TESTS FOR SALMONELLA
Serologic tests:

A
  1. Widal
  2. Typhidot
  3. Tubex
37
Q

WIDAL
Principle:

Rgts used has been modified

A

Direct Agglutination Test

38
Q

Widal Antigen Suspension
o Antigen preparation:

A

 antigen + heat or alcohol (phenol)
 H antigen + formalin

39
Q

: heat-labile

A

Formalin

40
Q

Principle:

detects serum antibody to antigen that is a dotted on a nitrocellulose membrane

A

TYPHIDOT

41
Q

Aka Dot Enzyme Immunoassay

A

TYPHIDOT

42
Q

Line in IgM:

A

Acute typhoid fever

43
Q

Line in IgG:

A

previously successfully treated
 Reinfection of Typhoid Fever
 Carrier status
 Recovery (most of the time)

44
Q

Both lines- transitioning from

A

acute to chronic or acute to recovery

45
Q

5-minute semiquantitative colorimetric test for typhoid fever

A

TUBEX

46
Q

One of the comparator tests aside from typhidot and and widal

A

TUBEX

47
Q

Detects anti-salmonella O9 bodies from a patient’s serum by the ability of these antibodies to inhibit the binding between an indicator antibody-bound particle and a magnetic antigen-bound to a particle

A

TUBEX

48
Q

Compare the intensity of the color

A

TUBEX

49
Q

10- positive result

A

TUBEX

50
Q

If the antibody is present- it will attract the antibody coated
indicator particle, thus intensifies the color

A

TUBEX

51
Q

Patient serum is placed on cuvettes
Darker color, more positive the patient sample is

A

TUBEX

52
Q

Causes brucellosis

A
53
Q

Zoonotic disease

A

BRUCELLA

54
Q

Gram (-) bacteria: pink

A

BRUCELLA

55
Q

MOT:
o Farm animals
o Consuming milk form farm animals

A

BRUCELLA

56
Q

Most reliable indicator

A

Agglutination method

57
Q

Test is performed on a filter paper with Brucella Ag

A

Surface fixation of the Castaneda strip test

58
Q

In the addition of the patient serum, if the patient’s antibody is present the serum will not flow

A

Surface fixation of the Castaneda strip test

59
Q

Use Castaneda medium

A

Surface fixation of the Castaneda strip test

60
Q

Extracellular bacteria
o hard to culture; use serologic

Culture

66
Q

Look for growth on specialized agars

A

Culture

67
Q

Difficult to grow and takes several weeks

A

Culture

68

69
Q

Easy to do but not specific for mycoplasma

A

Cold agglutinin testing

70
Q

Test for presence of IgG and IgM with purified antigens

A

EIA

71
Q

Sensitive and automated

A

EIA

72
