A cost-effective anaerobic culture method & its comparison with a standard method
نویسندگان
چکیده
Twenty six anaerobes were recovered from 150 deep-seated abscess samples cultured by the proposed two-step combustion-modified candle-jar system and Anoxomat. The degree of growth and colony size were similar in both systems, except for Clostridium difficile. The modified candle-jar system was found to be a sensitive and cost-effective alternative that might be used in resource-limited settings.

متن کاملAn Improved In-house MALDI-TOF MS Protocol for Direct Cost-Effective Identification of Pathogens from Blood Cultures
Background: Bloodstream infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients worldwide. Delays in the identification of microorganisms often leads to a poor prognosis. The application of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) directly to blood culture (BC) broth can potentially identify bloodstream infections earlier...
متن کاملEvaluation and comparison of antimicrobial effect of graphene oxide and common antibiotics on standard and hospital Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Background: Graphene chips are insoluble forms of graphene. Graphene is highly reactive and has no biocompatibility, but after oxidation, it becomes water-soluble. Graphene oxide (GO) is applied in biomedical, including gene and drug transfer, biomedical imaging, biomedical sensors, and antibiotics. Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive bacteria and is the most important species in Staphyloc...
