Anaerobic Culture Technique

چکیده
Peptococcus magnus is a biochemically inactive anaerobic Gram-positive coccus similar in morphology to the staphylococcus. It has been found (Smith, 1975) as part of the normal flora of the mouth, vagina, and skin. Previous reports (Pien et al., 1972; Spaulding et al., 1974) have described significant infections with this organism, but knowledge of its pathogenicity is incomplete since speciation of the organism is rarely undertaken in clinical laboratories. This report draws attention to the possible significance of Pc. magnus in infective lesions of the foot.

Detection of Streptococcus pneumoniae in lower respiratory tract specimens by anaerobic culture technique.
The relative efficacy of aerobic and anaerobic culture techniques for the recovery of Streptococcus pneumoniae from 1,173 lower respiratory tract specimens was determined. Unlike previous studies, this investigation found no significant difference between the two techniques.
متن کاملRapid detection of enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis in diarrhoeal faecal samples.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) is an important aetiological agent of acute diarrhoeal illness in humans. It is a fastidious anaerobe and takes 3-5 days when grown in culture, and test for enterotoxin detection requires additional time conventionally. The present study was aimed to standardize a rapid and sensitive diagnostic assay and to screen the presence ...
متن کاملElectrochemical Noise Analysis of Anaerobic (Bacterial) Corrosion of Steel
Corrosion of structural steel in an SRB containing environment for as long as 9 months, is studied using the Electrochemical Noise Analysis technique. The results show that the activity of the system, which was very low initially, started to increase after 6 months exposure to the environment. The power spectral density curves of the Electrochemical Potential Noise of the system, using the maxi...
متن کاملEvaluation of the modified broth-disk method for determining antibiotic susceptibilities of anaerobic bacteria.
A total of 110 strains of anaerobic bacteria including 9 different genera was tested for antibiotic susceptibility by the modified broth-disk method of Wilkins and Thiel (1973), using prereduced media and the VPI anaerobic culture system. Results were compared with those obtained with an agar dilution technique with incubation in a GasPak jar. There was greater than 95% agreement between the tw...
متن کاملVelvet pad surface sampling of anaerobic and aerobic bacteria: an in vitro laboratory model.
Velvet pads have been evaluated in an experimental, laboratory model, simulating intraoperative sampling of Staphylococcus epidermis, Escherichia coli and Bacteroides fragilis. After sampling, the pad was placed in a transport medium and kept in an anaerobic atmosphere, before being shaken and rinsed, followed by anaerobic and aerobic culture. This technique permitted quantitatively high recove...
متن کاملGrowth of silicone-immobilized bacteria on polycarbonate membrane filters, a technique to study microcolony formation under anaerobic conditions.
A technique was developed to study microcolony formation by silicone-immobilized bacteria on polycarbonate membrane filters under anaerobic conditions. A sudden shift to anaerobiosis was obtained by submerging the filters in medium which was depleted for oxygen by a pure culture of bacteria. The technique was used to demonstrate that preinduction of nitrate reductase under low-oxygen conditions...
