The exudate will be flushed into a sterile collection tube. If the lesion is not fluid filled, open the lesion with a scalpel and swab the area with a sterile cotton-tipped swab. Place the swab in the Culturette tube, and squeeze the bottom of the tube to release the t...
A sterile swab may be used to collect cells or pus from a superficial wound site. From deeper wounds, aspirations of fluid into a syringe and/or a tissue biopsy are the optimal specimens to allow for the recovery of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. ...

Rotate the swab completely over a 1cm2 area in the wound bed where it is free of necrotic tissue. Press down slightly to illicit fresh wound fluid. Take your time to allow adequate time for fluid collection. Place in the appropriate culture media transport tube and ensure that the sample do...
(Group B) dressing on the qualitative bacteriology of malignant wounds. All wound interventions were performed by the same healthcare professional. Swab cultures were obtained at baseline and following a 4-week intervention and were evaluated without information about the patient treatment group. Of ...
Swab culture isolated from the wound. Sternal instability with chest pain and fever (>38.5 °C). Mediastinitis or bone necrosis. Surgery performed under cardio-pulmonary bypass. Whereas, patients, who underwent at least one of the following criteria, were excluded from the study: ...
Specimen collection, transportation, and processing Swab samples from wound pus were aseptically collected from the injured site of wound infection of bullet-related injured patients using sterile swabs before cleaning the wound. Each collected wound swab was innoculated into a tube containing Stuart’...
(1.5 cm2). Wounds were debrided by removing necrotic tissue with sterile tweezers and washing with an aqueous solution of 3% hydrogen peroxide. Then, using a sterile cotton swab, the injured skin was covered with H-CM dressing, which was changed twice a day. In the other study, burns ...
Subsequently, the wound fluid was recovered by immediate centrifugation of swab tips at 10 000 rpm for 3 minutes at room temperature, using eppendorf cups equipped with a filter to hold the swab tip in place (Oxy Fill centrifugal filters without RoTrac capillary pore membrane, Carl Roth GmbH,...
the cells that had migrated to the lower surface of the membrane were fixed with methanol and stained with 5% Giemsa solution, and the cells on the upper surface of the membrane were carefully removed with a cotton swab. The migrated cells were counted in five high-power fields (200×) usi...
