Simple and convenient method for culturing anaerobic bacteria.

چکیده
A simple and convenient method for culturing anaerobic bacteria is described. Cultures can be grown in commercially available flasks normally used for preparation of sterile external solutions. A special disposable rubber flask closure maintains anaerobic conditions in the flask after autoclaving. Growth of a variety of anaerobic oral bacteria was comparable to that obtained after anaerobic incubation of broth cultures in Brewer Anaerobic Jars.

Can we afford to do anaerobic cultures and identification? A positive point of view.
Because anaerobic bacteria cause significant human infections that require specific therapy and because anaerobes are resistant to certain antimicrobials, the isolation, identification, and determination of antimicrobial susceptibilities are as important for these bacteria as they are for other pathogenic bacteria. Anaerobic culturing can be made cost-efficient by strict adherence to several pr...
متن کاملIsolation of anaerobic bacteria from human gingiva and mouse cecum by means of a simplified glove box procedure.
An anaerobic glove box constructed of clear flexible vinyl plastic is described. It is sufficiently inexpensive and simple in operation to be used not only in research but also in a clinical laboratory by technicians without special training. Conventional bacteriological techniques may be used inside the glove box for culturing and transferring anaerobic bacteria. The box may be heated to 37 C ...
متن کاملDevelopment and evaluation of the quick anaero-system-a new disposable anaerobic culture system.
BACKGROUND We developed a new disposable anaerobic culture system, namely, the Quick anaero-system, for easy culturing of obligate anaerobes. METHODS Our system consists of 3 components: 1) new disposable anaerobic gas pack, 2) disposable culture-envelope and sealer, and 3) reusable stainless plate rack with mesh containing 10 g of palladium catalyst pellets. To evaluate the efficiency of our...
متن کاملSimple method for culturing anaerobes.
A simple, effective method is needed for growing obligate anaerobes in the clinical laboratory. This report describes a pre-reduced anaerobic bottle that can be taken to the bedside for direct inoculation, provides a flat agar surface for evaluation of number and morphology of colonies, and can be incubated in conventional bacteriological incubators. Each anaerobic culture set consisted of two ...
متن کاملIs there any change in the pattern of bacterial translocation with increased time of the obstruction?
Introduction: Bacterial translocation is defined as the passage of bacteria from intestinal tract to the extraintestinal organs such as the peritoneum and blood circulation. The aim of this study is to examine bacterial translocation (regarding type of bacteria and effect of time of obstruction on bacterial translocation) from intestinal lumen to the peritoneum and viscera in acute, simple mec...
