Evaluation of paraffin baiting technique for rapid isolation of atypical mycobacteria.
conglomeration of an array of well established fields, such as microbial genomics, phylogenetics, forensic informatics and classical microbiology. Unlike public health investigations, microbial forensic investigation goes further to associate the source of the causative agent with a specific individual or group. Microbial forensics will be most effective if there is sufficient basic scientific ...
متن کاملComparison of paraffin baiting and conventional culture techniques for isolation of Nocardia asteroides from sputum.
Of 1,510 sputum samples examined from 1,016 patients with bronchopulmonary disorders, Nocardia asteroides was isolated from 67 samples by paraffin baiting, as compared with only 30 isolations by the conventional technique of culturing on Sabouraud dextrose agar. This higher efficacy of the paraffin bait technique was found to be statistically significant (P less than 0.001).
متن کاملIsolation of atypical mycobacteria from clinical material in Malaysia.
During the period 1979-1982, 70 strains of atypical mycobacteria isolated from clinical material were identified as belonging to species or species complex. Twenty-eight out of 61 strains isolated from pulmonary specimens were identified as M. avium-intracellulare. This frequency of association of M. avium-intracellulare with sputa of patients with pulmonary symptoms points to its potential imp...
متن کاملComparison of Paraffin Bait, Humic Acid Vitamin B Agar and Paraffin Agar Methods to Isolate Nocardia from Soil
Abstract Background and Objective: The Isolation of Nocardia species is complex and time-consuming, which is due to rapid growth of adjacent bacteria. Because of the importance of a specific medium with the ability of controlling intrusive microorganisms, this study aimed at comparing three laboratory methods to introduce the reliable isolation technique for Nocardia species. Material and Met...
