For both transport media, transfer stool to the fill line on the transport vial as soon as possible and within two (2) hours of collection. Transport urine in a sterile, leakproof container, refrigerated, for microscopy for Schistosoma.

Microbiologyis a broad term that encompasses the study of all different types of microorganisms. But in practice, microbiologists tend to specialize in one of several subfields. For example,bacteriologyis the study of bacteria;mycologyis the study of fungi;protozoologyis the study of protozoa;parasit...
By using selective agar media, which allows only specific groups of bacteria to grow, the presence of various types of bacteria can be demonstrated. Identification and classification of bacteria In an attempt to classify the many different groups of bacteria that exist, they were previously divided...
(a partially digested protein), meat extract, and sometimesyeastextract. When a solid medium is desired,agaris added to the above ingredients. Agar is a complexpolysaccharideextracted from marine algae. It has several properties that make it an ideal solidifying substance for microbiological media, ...
It got me thinking… Do the same types of bias apply when reading and interpreting microbial cultures on agar plates? The answer is of course yes. Below are examples of the main types of cognitive bias one might be subject to when reading agar plates: ...

In the post implementation period, from April-January 2024, a single sheep blood/chocolate agar bi-plate was set unless the gram stain showed evidence of mixed organisms (defined as more than one morphology) at which time a secondary selective media (CNA/MacConkey) was manually set. For urine...
