Fluorescence analysis. (A) Red fluorescence and forward scatter of 15 different types of beads. (B) Histograms of green fluorescence for two types of beads. The shaded areas are histograms before inhibition; the open areas are histograms after inhibition. (C) The left panel shows that Hyp6BM9 can bind to 6A and 6B immobilized on the microtiter plate surface. The right panel shows inhibition of binding of Hyp6BM9 to 6B-coated latex particles in the presence of 6B PS or 6A PS in solution.

Serotyping results of 86 pneumococcal isolates with multibead assay
Serotype No. of isolates Assigneda Multibead assay 1 2 2 3 4 4 4 6 6 5 2 2 6A 10 10 6B (7 − 1) 6 7F (3 − 1) 2 9N 2 2 9V 3 3 14 8 8 18C (5 − 1) 4 19A 5 5 19F (4 + 1) 5 22F 3 3 23F 3 3 Others (19 + 2) 21 ↵a The numbers in parentheses reflect the adjustment in assignment that took place after the Quellung reaction, which was reperformed to address inconsistencies with the multibead assay results. For instance, seven isolates were originally labeled to be 6B. However, a repeat Quellung assay showed one isolate to have a different serotype. Thus, only six isolates were truly 6B.
