Comparative isolation of vaginal yeasts on selective and nonselective media.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The isolation of vaginal yeasts was compared on a selective medium, phosphomolybdic acid agar, and on starch agar, a nonselective differential medium used primarily to isolate Corynebacterium vaginale. The majority of the Candida albicans strains were isolated on starch agar, but the selective medium was required for isolating all yeasts from the greatest number specimens.

Comparative evaluation of three selective media and a nonselective medium for the culture of Helicobacter pylori from gastric biopsies.
Plating on solid media is the standard technique used in most laboratories for the isolation of Helicobacter pylori from gastric biopsies. Recently, various selective media were developed for this purpose. We compared and evaluated three selective media, Skirrow's, Dent's CP, and modified Glupczynski's Brussels campylobacter charcoal media, and chocolate agar medium for the isolation of H. pylo...
متن کاملOptimal combination of media for primary isolation of Helicobacter pylori from gastric biopsy specimens.
The aim of the present study was to compare eight media, four nonselective and four selective media, to determine the best combination of media for the primary isolation of Helicobacter pylori. Over a period of 5 months, mucosal antral biopsy specimens were obtained from 222 consecutive dyspeptic patients undergoing endoscopy. Biopsy samples were plated in parallel on all eight media. Egg yolk ...
متن کاملEvaluation of a dehydrated test strip for the detection of yeasts.
Use of a dehydrated test strip for the detection of yeasts is compared with traditional culture on Sabouraud's agar containing 50 mug/ml chloramphenicol. While the selective medium of the strip is satisfactory for the isolation of species of Candida, Torulopsis glabrata grows only very slowly. The strip has the advantage of a long storage life without deterioration, but a high cost may preclude...
متن کاملEvaluation of media for selective isolation of yeasts from oral, rectal, and burn wound specimens.
Six media were evaluated to determine their ability to isolate yeasts and inhibit bacteria. The media included the following: Snyder, Snyder tellurite, Sabouraud tellurite, Littman-gentamicin, molybdate, and Mycosel (BBL). Doses of mixed intestinal gram-negative bacilli and enterococci were most effectively inhibited by Snyder tellurite agar. Klebsiella pneumoniae was the most common bacterial ...
متن کاملImportance of selective media for recovery of yeasts from clinical specimens.
We compared the recovery of yeasts from clinical specimens cultured on routine bacteriological media to the recovery of yeast from specimens cultured on a selective fungal medium (Sabouraud agar). The use of Sabouraud agar was especially important in cases of mixed cultures, since in such cases yeast was recovered on bacteriological media from only 50% of 44 yeast-positive pus specimens and fro...
