The Blood Culture Gram Stain Case Simulator, produced in collaboration with Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, includes over 70 cases of positive blood culture gram stain smears. These cases include aerobic and anaerobic organisms, as well as atypical findings such as Nocardia, Mycobacte...
Blood samples were directly inoculated in Bactalert culture bottles and sub culture was done on Mac Conkey andSalmonella–ShigellaAgar. Non-lactose fermenting colonies were processed for identification, antibiotic sensitivity and MIC value. Slide agglutination test using specific antisera was also done to...
