Demonstrates high concordance between indirect whole-cell ELISA and bacterial microagglutination for serotyping Bordetella pertussis, suggesting ELISA is a reliable alternative.
Sixty-one Bordetella pertussis isolates were tested blindly in two laboratories to determine their serotype nature by monoclonal antibodies using two independent methods: the standard bacterial microagglutination assay and an indirect whole-cell enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Both methods gave concordant results in 60 of the 61 isolates.
