Introduction Controversy regarding treatment of tonsillitis based on throat culture report still persists. If surface culture is a determinant of bacteriology of the core, then rational therapy could be aimed at organisms cultured by surface swab. Materials and Methods A Cross-sectional study was condu...
Our findings showed that the culture results of nasopharyngeal swabs and inner part of the adenoid tissue are in close correlation. Polymicrobial aerobic-anaerobic flora was present in all instances. The predominant aerobic isolates in all two groups were S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae and M. ...
Acne swab were obtained for aerobic and anaerobic culture, microtiter plate method (MPA), and congo red agar (CRA), methods were used to detect the biofilm formation. Propionibacterium acnes plays a role in the pathogenesis of acne vulgaris, a common disorder of the p...
Data analyses showed that bacteria flora encompass a wide range of aerobic to facultative anaerobic, harmless commensals to important pathogens, inter-cellular to intra-cellular, environmental to nosocomial pathogens, skin surface to gut lumen bacteria, endophytes to epiphytes, extremophiles to mesophile...
The need for separate swab transport methods for aerobes and anaerobes may result in inadequate transport of specimens for anaerobic bacteriology. Most microbiology laboratories in Australia rely on Stuart's transport medium to protect anaerobic bacteria. This paper presents a new, simple transport mediu...
Anaerobic culture is used less frequently for diagnosis of C. difficile. Although the test is extremely sensitive, culture requires about 3 days. However, it remains an important tool for epidemiologic surveillance. Isolating the organism from fecal specimens and determining if it is a toxin-producin...
coli, group A streptococci, group B streptococci or staphylococci on culture. 8.4. Treatment in pregnancy AV is a notorious cause of complications in pregnancy. The broad-spectrum effect of clindamycin versus the narrow anaerobic spectrum of metronidazole can explain why clindamycin, but not ...
The Infective Dose of Aerobic and Anaerobic Bacteria in Postoperative Wound Sepsis R Dennis - 《Arch Surg》 被引量: 91发表: 1986年 Bacteria in Hip Surgery A Study of Routine Aerobic and Anaerobic Cultivation from Skin and Closed Suction Wound Drains One hundred and seven patients with closed ...
Copan M40 swab was superior to the Port-A-Cul system for anaerobic organisms. Viability was better maintained for 24 hours at room temperature except for P. anaerobius, which was better at 4掳C. The viability of B. fragilis was maintained well on both systems. Conclusion: This study ...
Collected swabs were transported on the semi-solid Amies transport medium (Meus S.r.l., Arzergrande, Italy), a commercial transport medium for clinical samples, for aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. After transfer to the laboratory, specimens were planted onto Chapman medium (Mannitol Salt Agar, ...
