Molecular Detection and Serotyping of Streptococcus pneumoniae in Children with Suspected Meningitis in Northeast Iran.
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: in developing countries, serotyping of the prevalent isolates is useful in selecting the correct vaccine. The present study aimed to evaluate common serotypes of pneumococcal meningitis in Bojnurd, Iran. METHODS: . In addition, the modified Marimon's PCR method was used for serotyping the bacteria. The data were analyzed using Pearson's Chi-square test. RESULTS: using the PCR method, while only 92 cases tested positive using the conventional methods. Based on the Marimon's PCR method, serotypes 23F, 19F, 19A, 1, 14, and serogroup 6A/B were the most common types. Serogroups 18C, 15A/F, 15B/C, 9A/V, 7A/F, 11A/D/F, and 22A/F were also detected in isolates. Note that 2.8% of the samples were non-typable (NT). CONCLUSION: International Congress of Microbiology, as a poster and published in the congress abstracts book.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“The reported sensitivity of PCR for pneumococcal meningitis is high and reached 100% in the majority of conducted studies (median of 100%, range 79%–100%) (Table 1; see also Table S1 in the supplemental material) (49–58).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
