Cleanse the area around the wound to remove flora indigenous to the skin. Place a Culturette swab in a superficial wound where the exudate is the most excessive without touching the wound edges. Place the swab in the Culturette tube, and squeeze the bottom of the tube to ...
The bacterial flora of the skin and its relation to post-operative wound infectiondoi:10.1093/occmed/16.1.18THE work of Semmelweis, Pasteur and Lister which marks the beginning of modern surgery and the birth of the new science of bacteriology demonstrated the importance of potential infection in...
Cultures taken from the surface of the wound and/or purulent exudate usually interfere with the true pathogenic flora. The average number of isolates per infection among patients hospitalized with pedal infection is 3 - 5. Staphylococci and streptococci are most common, but infections due to gram ...
The interplay between the skin microbiome and its host is a complex facet of dermatological health and has become a critical focus in the development of microbiome cosmetics. The skin microbiome, comprising various microorganisms, is essential from birth, develops over the lifespan, and performs vita...
18.0聽% of the swab samples were positive for bacterial growth in the wound base, 24.5聽% in the margin, and 27.3聽% in the suture. Only 65.5聽% of patients showed a 100聽% reduction of the skin flora after antisepsis. The microbial spectrum in all postantiseptic samples was dominated ...
The manifestation of SSI depends on various factors, such as site of surgery, age of the patient, underlying illness, amount and type of the microorganisms in the surrounding surgery field and their pathogenicity [12,13]. To eliminate the resident skin flora as the major source of SSI, ...
inoculation during birth through an infected birth canal, as a consequence of sexual abuse, or from incidental spread from cutaneous warts. A significant proportion of genital warts in children contain HPV types that are usually isolated from cutaneous warts. HPV infection of the cervix is a major...

Identification of isolated fungi was done by examining the mold in wet mount by transporting a portion of a colony to a drop of Lacto phenol cotton blue (LPCB) stain on sterile slide. A cover slip was applied on the preparation and examined microscopically. RESULTS Culture of the 50 ...
The collected plant specimens were identified using herbarium materials and taxonomic keys described in various volumes on the Flora of Ethiopia [13]. Voucher specimens were deposited in the Herbarium of the Department of Plant Science, Haramaya University, Ethiopia. ...
