Bacteriological examination of radicular cysts contents

Bacteriological study of epidermal cysts.

The aim of this study was to determine whether bacterial infection plays a significant role in the inflammatory process of epidermal cysts. Samples from 152 patients (115 cases of inflamed and 37 of uninflamed epidermal cysts) were subjected to aerobic and anaerobic bacterial culture and the isolates were investigated. The rate of bacterial growth and the recovered anaerobes were significantly ...

The predominant bacteria isolated from radicular cysts

PURPOSE To detect predominant bacteria associated with radicular cysts and discuss in light of the literature. MATERIAL AND METHODS Clinical materials were obtained from 35 radicular cysts by aspiration. Cultures were made from clinical materials by modern laboratory techniques, they underwent microbiologic analysis. RESULTS The following are microorganisms isolated from cultures: Streptoco...

Bacteriological Examination of pro Stheses

In two cases of infected total hip replacements, Peptococcus magnus was isolated in pure culture from the implant when it was removed. Fluorescent antibody and ELISA studies have shown that both patients developed an antibody response to this anaerobic coccus soon after the replacement operation. These results suggest that the organism is a true infective agent, which was probably responsible f...

The bacteriological examination of sputum.

Pitfalls in the collection, transport, processing, and interpretation of the expectorated sputum culture are discussed. Data are presented which suggest that, under stricdy controlled conditions, the culture of sputum may be a valuable adjunct to the diagnosis of bacterial pneumonia. In 1971 there were 2,068,000 diagnosed cases of bacterial pneumonia resulting in 34,183,000 days of disabled act...
