Blood Agar is used to grow a wide range of pathogens particularly those that are more difficult to grow such asHaemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniaeandNeisseriaspecies. It is also required to detect and differentiatehaemolytic bacteria, especiallyStreptococcusspecies. It is also adifferentialmedi...
selective culture one grown on a medium, usually solid, that has been supplemented to encourage the growth of a single species of microorganism. It may also include substances that inhibit the growth of other species. shake culture a culture made by inoculating warm liquid agar culture medium in...
The Septi-Chek (BD Diagnostics) blood culture system is a biphasic-agar slide system that uses a standard blood culture bottle containing brain heart infusion or trypticase soy broth connected to a second plastic chamber with a trisurface panel consisting of chocolate, Mackonkey and malt agar. ...
marcescens in blood-fed and non-blood-fed mosquitoes was determined by plating on selective media. To examine the reproductive output, we measured the number of eggs produced by a blood feed female. Individual blood-fed females were place...
agar dilution method, shown in Tables2and3, respectively. The concordant rate of MIC results is 60% overall—46.9% forS. aureus, and 74.4% forE. coli, respectively. Nevertheless, the mismatches within one or two-dilution discordance do not cause substantial influence on susceptibility ...
Knockdown of endogenous HBB in cultured CTCs (BRx50) significantly suppresses their colony formation in soft agar (Fig. 3a,b, top panel), a condition where overcoming accumulated ROS is key for the survival3. HBB knockdown also reduces their proliferation rate under anchorage-independent suspension...
Total apoE concentrations were achieved from peptides, common in each apoE isoforms (LGPLVEQGR and LQAEAFQAR) or calculated by summing the signals of peptides representing different isoforms (LAVYQAGAR (apoE3 and 4) + CLAVYQAGAR (apoE2)). The total apoE concentration achieved from the sum ...
The difference between the two ELISAs may be due to monomers being less stable to immobilization or different exposure of binding surfaces. Although 1C3, an antibody against recombinant GPVI monomer D1D2 (13), binds both dimer and monomer, its Kd value indicates that it is dimer-selective. ...
the mechanical action of the ultrasound. Transducers of various shapes have been used. In the prior work the outcome has been the comprehensive lysis of all the cells in the sample. By contrast, in the methods of the present invention the selective lysis of particular cell populations is ...
