Culturing Stool Specimens for Campylobacter spp., Pennsylvania, USA
In 2010, we surveyed 176 clinical laboratories in Pennsylvania regarding stool specimen testing practices for enteropathogens, including Campylobacter spp. Most (96.3%) routinely test for Campylobacter spp. In 17 (15.7%), a stool antigen test is the sole method for diagnosis. We recommend that laboratory practice guidelines for Campylobacter spp. testing be developed.
متن کاملRoutine culturing of stool specimens for Yersinia enterocolitica.
The sweeping conclusion of Kachoris et al. (3) that routine culturing of stool specimens for Yersinia enterocolitica is not a cost-effective procedure concerns us. We wish to recommend that the word procedure be followed by "from our patient population in Boston, Mass." The authors mentioned the variability of isolation rates reported by three groups of investigators and referred to Weissfeld's...
متن کاملDetection of verotoxin in stool specimens.
A total of 132 fecal specimens containing verotoxin (VT) were subjected to counter-current immunoelectrophoresis (CIE). Of these, 113 (85.6%) were found to be positive by CIE. Another 71 stool specimens containing E. coli serogroup O157 but with flagellar antigens other than H7 were tested for verotoxin by CIE. These stool specimens were negative for VT on Vero cell monolayers. Of these 71 stoo...
متن کاملMagnetic bead protocol for culturing Mycobacterium tuberculosis from sputum specimens.
A magnetic bead protocol and a standard centrifugation protocol yielded Mycobacterium tuberculosis in 40/50 sputum specimens in 12 ± 1 days and 11 ± 2 days, respectively (P > 0.05 by Student's t test). Manipulation took 35 ± 5 min and 45 ± 10 min, respectively (P < 0.05). The magnetic bead protocol could advantageously replace centrifugation for culturing M. tuberculosis from sputum.
متن کاملIn vitro growth of some fastidious adenoviruses from stool specimens.
Sixty-seven stool specimens from 51 children, positive for adenoviruses by electron microscopy and negative for growth in human-embryo kidney cells, were tested for growth in Chang conjunctiva cells. Twenty-eight specimens caused a cytopathic effect over more than one passage in these cultures, and several adenovirus strains grew better at 33 degree C than at 37 degree C. Most of the culture-po...
