Bacteriological Examination on Suppurative Disease

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...

Observations on the Current Bacteriological Profile of Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media in South Eastern Nigeria

BACKGROUND Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a disease well-known for its recurrence and persistence despite treatment. The situation is compounded by the increasing resistance to antimicrobial agents by bacteria these days. AIM This study was carried out to examine the current local bacteriological profile of CSOM and to compare the profile of either ear in bilaterally discharging e...
