Detection of antibody to staphylococcal lipoteichoic acid with a microenzyme-linked immunosorbent assay

Mary M. Carruthers, Katherine Jenkins, William Kabat, T Buranosky

Abstract

Sera from individuals with Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis and osteomyelitis and from some individuals with other forms of gram-positive endocarditis yielded higher readings in a microenzyme-linked immunosorbent assay against lipoteichoic acid from S. aureus than did sera from individuals with other types of serious staphylococcal infection or non-staphylococcal osteomyelitis, or from unselected inpatients.
