Evaluation of lysis filtration as an adjunct to conventional blood culture.
A lysis filtration system was used in conjunction with conventional broth culture for 1112 blood cultures. The system, which entailed collection of 5 ml of blood into bottles containing 50 ml isotonic phosphate buffer, Tween 20, and Rhozyme with subsequent filtration using a 0.45 micron Millipore field monitor, was simple and economical to use. Positive results were obtained earlier than those ...
متن کاملEvaluation of conventional castaneda and lysis centrifugation blood culture techniques for diagnosis of human brucellosis.
We investigated the role of the lysis centrifugation blood culture technique over the conventional Castaneda technique for the diagnosis of human brucellosis. The lysis centrifugation technique has been found to be more sensitive in both acute (20% higher sensitivity; P < 0.00001) and chronic (40% higher sensitivity; P = 0.087) forms of brucellosis. The major advantage of lysis centrifugation w...
متن کاملMycobacterium tuberculosis bacteremia detected by the Isolator lysis-centrifugation blood culture system.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis was detected by the Isolator lysis-centrifugation blood culture system from the blood of a patient with tuberculosis of the breast. The organism also grew on conventional laboratory media inoculated with pleural fluid from the patient.
متن کاملInhibition of pneumococcal autolysis in lysis-centrifugation blood culture.
The recovery of Streptococcus pneumoniae from the Isolator lysis-centrifugation blood culture has been low in many studies. The poor survival of pneumococci was not due to toxicity of the Isolator medium but to autolysis before plating. This autolysis was completely inhibited by adding 10 mM phosphorylcholine to the Isolator medium.
متن کاملThe use of filtration techniques for the lysis and study of red blood cells.
A filtration technique for the gentle lysis of erythrocytes has been developed using cellulose triacetate membranes. When cell suspensions are filtered under nitrogen pressure, lysis occurs at the surface of the filter in such a way that the cell ghosts are retained on the filter. The contents of the cell are extruded through the pores of the filter without mixing with the cell suspension. Cell...
