Modified method for fungal slide culture.
نویسنده
چکیده
A modified slide culture method which combines advantages found in several slide culture methods is described. A block of inoculated nutrient agar sandwiched between two sterile cover glasses is placed in a plastic petri dish containing water agar. After adequate growth has occurred, the slide culture is disassembled and mounted in a conventional manner.

Fungal cultures in patients with allergic fungal rhinosinusitis: improving the recovery of potential fungal pathogens in the Canadian laboratory.
BACKGROUND There is no uniform consensus on how to grow fungi from sinus aspirates in the Canadian setting. Protocols vary between institutions, and the positivity rate for fungal cultures ranges between 10 and 20% even when endoscopically obvious allergic mucin is being sent to the laboratory. The aim of this study was to compare the occurrence of positive fungal cultures obtained by our insti...
متن کاملAssessing the anti-fungal efficiency of filters coated with zinc oxide nanoparticles
Air filters support fungal growth, leading to generation of conidia and volatile organic compounds, causing allergies, infections and food spoilage. Filters that inhibit fungi are therefore necessary. Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles have anti-fungal properties and therefore are good candidates for inhibiting growth. Two concentrations (0.012 M and 0.12 M) were used to coat two types of filters (...

OBJECTIVES To compare microscopy with culture for diagnosing candidal balanoposthitis and to document which diagnostic methods are used in genitourinary medicine clinics in Great Britain. DESIGN (a) Penile material for microscopy and fungal culture were obtained from men with balano-posthitis. A "plain-slide" method of collecting material for microscopy was compared with a novel "adhesive-tap...
متن کاملAgar block smear preparation: a novel method of slide preparation for preservation of native fungal structures for microscopic examination and long-term storage.
We describe a novel method of fungal slide preparation named "agar block smear preparation." A total of 510 agar block smears of 25 fungal strains obtained from culture collections, 90 QC fungal strains, and 82 clinical fungal strains from our clinical microbiology laboratory, which included a total of 137 species of yeasts, molds, and thermal dimorphic fungi, were prepared and examined. In con...
متن کاملA slide culture method for streptomycin sensitivity testing.
Ever since Koch first cultivated the tubercle bacillus, methods have been sought to hasten its growth (in vitro). In his original communication Koch’ described a technique of examining cultures of tubercle bacilli grown in coagulated blood serum placed in watch glasses or hollow glass slides. He examined these preparations by low-power magnification and was able to detect growth in one week. Pr...
