Abstract Streptococcus pneumoniae is the leading cause of community-acquired pneumonia, meningitis, and otitis media. In addition S. pneumoniae has been isolated from patients with conjunctivitis. In this stud...y, we test the antisera kit (obtained from Denkaseiken, Japan) in order to serotype S. pneumoniae clinical isolates (two strains isolated from sputum and 31 ophthalmic isolates) by slide agglutination method or by immuno dot blot. While the two respiratoly isolates were typable both by the methods, none of the opthalmic isolates was typable. These findings suggest that uncapsulated strains might be common in ophthalmic S.pneumoniae.show more
