Swab-wash method for quantitation of cutaneous microflora.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a comparison of the scrub-wash method of Williamson and Kligman and a swab-wash method for the enumeration of cutaneous microflora. The swab-wash method provides a less traumatic alternative to the scrub-wash method and can be used to sample the cutaneous microflora of premature neonates.

Development of cutaneous microflora in premature neonates.
Coagulase-negative staphylococci (C-NS) are a frequent cause of bacteraemia in premature neonates. It is likely that the strains of C-NS causing bacterial sepsis in premature neonates have their origin on the patient's skin surface. We have studied the quantitative development of the skin microflora at eight sites on premature neonates. A swab wash method was used to sample and enumerate the cu...

In recent years, cleaning validation has achieved a position of increasing in the pharmaceutical industry. It provides assurance to the cleaning procedure that ensures equipment is consistently cleaned from the product, detergent and microbial residues to an acceptable level to avoid cross-contamination and adulteration of drug product with other active ingredients. The aim of this study was to...
متن کاملNasopharyngeal wash versus swab specimens for culture of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae and other respiratory bacterial pathogens.
TO THE EDITOR—We read with interest the recent article by Winokur et al, in which they developed a safe experimental human model of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) nasopharyngeal colonization [1]. In their study, both nasopharyngeal wash specimens and nasopharyngeal swab specimens were collected to culture NTHi. Colonization was detected in nasopharyngeal wash samples from 9 subjects ...

Purpose: To evaluate models of gastric material collection from Wistar rats with and without using proton pump inhibitors(PPIs). Methods: Twenty-four rats underwent intraperitoneal omeprazol treatment, and other 12 received similar treatment with 0.9% saline. All animals underwent collection of gastric material samples, after stomach removal, by either biopsies, or aspirates, or swabs. Samples ...
متن کاملSensitive diagnosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis by lesion swab sampling coupled to qPCR.
Variation in clinical accuracy of molecular diagnostic methods for cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is commonly observed depending on the sample source, the method of DNA recovery and the molecular test. Few attempts have been made to compare these variables. Two swab and aspirate samples from lesions of patients with suspected CL (n = 105) were evaluated alongside standard diagnosis by microscopic...
