Utility of the pneumoslide test in identification of Streptococcus pneumoniae in blood cultures and its relation to capsular serotype.

Wilson W Chan1, Marguerite Lovgren, Gregory J Tyrrell.   

Abstract

The performance of the Pneumoslide test for rapid identification of Streptococcus pneumoniae was evaluated when used directly on positive blood culture specimens. The sensitivity was 75.3%, and the specificity was 98.6%. Pneumoslide test performance accuracy varied depending on the pneumococcal serotype.
