Severe fastidious bacteria in blood culture. Own experience and prospectsZbinden, R
This note reports an interesting way to rapidly identify bacteria grown from blood culture bottles. Chocolate agar plates were inoculated with 1 drop of the positive blood bottle medium. After a 3-hour incubation, the growth veil was submitted to MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry: 77% of the bacteria...
Objective To investigate the distribution of pathogenic bacteria in blood culture and to observe the drug resistance of common pathogens in our hospital to provide the basis for clinical antimicrobial therapy.Methods BACTEC9120 system made by BD company was applied for the blood culture.The microorganis...
Detection and identification of anaerobic bacteria in blood cultures (BC) is a well-recognized challenge in clinical microbiology. We studied 100 clinical anaerobic BC isolates to evaluate the performance of BacT/ALERT-FN, -FN Plus (BioMérieux), BACTEC-Plus and -Lytic (Becton Dickinson BioSciences...
Since probiotics can colonize the gastrointestinal tract and exert their beneficial effect long term, without requiring continuous medical intervention, they have been used for a century to treat a variety of mucosal surface infections (gut, vagina), but their use decreased after the appearance of ...
However, as multiple bacteria coexist in the biliary tract, culture-dependent methods are somewhat insensitive and biased for bacterial identification and are inad- equate to study the entire microbial community9,14. Therefore, improved understanding of the biliary tract microbiota would be helpful for...
6, the CFUs from mice injected with CMCB at 12 and 48 h post-injection were around 4 and 14 times greater, respectively, than that of uncoated EcN, suggesting significantly increased retention of EcN in the blood circulation after wrapping with cell membranes. Fig. 2 Evaluation of in vivo...
