The diagnostic effectiveness of the passive hemagglutination (PHA) tests with the use of erythrocyte diagnostica (ED based on exotoxin A (ETA) and poly- and monovalent ED based on lipopolysaccharides (LPS) isolated from 5 most widespread P. aeruginosa serogroups was compared. 97 patients with different purulent septic diseases and 100 practically healthy adult donors were examined. The treatment of serum samples with 2-mercaptoethanol decreased the diagnostic effectiveness of serological examination. The simultaneous determination of the activity of antibodies to ETA and LPS essentially increased the number of positive results of the PHA tests in patients with bacteriologically confirmed P. aeruginosa infection, but not in patients from whom other bacteria were isolated. Considering the sensitivity and specificity of serological examination, as well as the decrease of the volume of necessary work and the consumption of immunoreagents, the optimum test conditions proved to be ensured by the use of two ED: LPS-based polyvalent ED and ETA-based ED.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.

D008070 Lipopolysaccharides Lipid-containing polysaccharides which are endotoxins and important group-specific antigens. They are often derived from the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria and induce immunoglobulin secretion. The lipopolysaccharide molecule consists of three parts: LIPID A, core polysaccharide, and O-specific chains (O ANTIGENS). When derived from Escherichia coli, lipopolysaccharides serve as polyclonal B-cell mitogens commonly used in laboratory immunology. (From Dorland, 28th ed) Lipopolysaccharide,Lipoglycans

D011550 Pseudomonas aeruginosa A species of gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacteria commonly isolated from clinical specimens (wound, burn, and urinary tract infections). It is also found widely distributed in soil and water. P. aeruginosa is a major agent of nosocomial infection.
