4.Examine after 18-24 hours. Interpretation of Results Sheep Blood Agar can be used as a primary-plating medium. Primary isolation is performed to separate and isolate organisms present in a sample. This separation allows for characterization of colony types and may indicate the presence of ...
7. Interpretation of results Interpretation of positive blood culture results are challenging to both clinicians and microbiologists. With the background of blood culture contamination rates of up to half of all positive cultures and previously considered contaminants now more frequently implicated in dise...
After incubation, 100 µL of the medium from the basal chamber was transferred to a black well plate (Greiner Bio-One, Germany). The permeability of dextran was determined based on the results obtained from the plate in a Victor Nivo multimode plate reader (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA, USA)...
one culture plate with mixed growth (21 h group), located off the inoculation streaks in the 3rd and 4th quadrant of the chocolate agar plate Amplification of genetic material was noted in one blood culture bottle using an assay targetingStaphylococcusspp. Decision to use this assay was made wh...
The blood–brain barrier (BBB) prevents harmful toxins from entering brain but can also inhibit therapeutic molecules designed to treat neurodegenerative diseases. Focused ultrasound (FUS) combined with microbubbles can enhance permeability of BBB and is
Interpretation of results. MALDI-TOF MS results and the identification obtained by conventional methods were correlated as follows: total concordance, MALDI-TOF and conventional methods provided the same identification at the species level; partial concordance, both methods provided a pathogen identification...

Blood culture bottles that were still sterile after 7days were subcultured on blood agar plate and incubated for48 h at 36°C and 5% CO2to confirm sterility. All isolatescultured from blood were identified at the species level withstandard biochemical procedures. The Staph-zym™ identifi-...
Time-to-colonies was defined as time between incubation and recovery of bacterial colonies on agar plate. Results Blood culture results Between October 2017 and March 2020, a total of 3140 blood cultures were sampled from 3031 patients (Fig. 2). Fig. 2 Breakdown of blood culture data from ...
The TTP of each BC was recorded, and liquid from each BC bottle was inoculated into a blood agar plate, a MacConkey agar plate, and a chocolate agar plate and incubated at 36°C for 18–24 h. An anaerobic Brucella culture medium was added to positive anaerobic bottles instead of positive...
