This approach identified serotypes in 139 (90.8 %) of 153 isolates; 126 (82.4 %) were identified within two reactions. This approach in developing countries would require minimal training and could provide useful serotype information without requiring transport of specimens., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jmm/10.1099/jmm.0.47346-0
