Rapid detection of pneumococcal antigen in sputum in patients with community acquired pneumonia by Coagglutination. Med Microbiol Immunol (Berl) 1988; 177: 333-338.
An agglutination method that uses S aureus as a carrier is called coagglutination. When erythrocytes are used as the carrier, the procedure is called hemagglutination.
The isolate, confirmed as serotype 2 by using the coagglutination test (8), did not produce the virulence markers muramidase-released protein, extracellular factor, or the hemolysin suilysin.
