For skin wounds, the surface always contains commensals; normal flora causing background noise must be "filtered" out. Swabs are less than ideal cultures for many reasons. Only three out of 100 CPU will actually make it to the culture stage. For anaerobes in particular, air between the ...
This may be done to increase the chance of detecting the pathogen or to detect multiple pathogens. It may involve multiple swabs, a combination of swabs, fluid aspiration, and/or tissue biopsy, or distinct aerobic and anaerobic sample collection. ...
Animals Fifty‐two client‐owned dogs with infected wounds. Interventions Each wound was sampled for culture by 3 methods: swabbing prior to preparation (dirty swabs), swabbing after debridement and sterile lavage (clean swabs), and biopsy. Bacterial species and phenotypes were compared. Three ...
excess dye was rinsed out with deionized water, ex- cess gel and the cells from the upper side of the mem- brane were removed by using cotton swabs and when necessary, excess dye was further removed from the in- side and outside of the Transwell® inserts with cotton swabs immersed in...
There was also an increase in confirmed infection in oozing wounds; 53% positive wound swabs versus 37% in those without a cultured urinary tract infection. A chi-squared analysis yielded a value of 6.07, giving a p value <0.02. There is therefore a statistically significant correlation between...
After incubation for 24 h, the non-migrating cells in the upper chamber were wiped with cotton swabs and removed, and those that had migrated through the pores were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 30 min and stained with 10% Giemsa for 30 min. HCC cells were cultured in a ...
For skin wounds, the surface always contains commensals; normal flora causing background noise must be "filtered" out. Swabs are less than ideal cultures for a variety of reasons (Ford 2007). Only 3 out of 100 CFU will actually make it to the culture stage. For anaerobes in particular, ...

Gram stains performed with ESwab liquid showed significantly more Gram-negative rods, streptococci, Gram-positive cocci, Gram-positive rods, polymorphonuclear cells, lymphocytes and red blood cells than Gram stains from dry swabs. Bacterial recovery was significantly higher with ESwab (p p = ...
