Radiometric detection of bacteria.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The radiometric method has been used to detect the presence of bacteria in serial dilutions of nine bacterial species with and without agitation. It was also found that the detection time is proportional to the dilution showing high sensitivity down to one colony forming unit and the agitation resulted in different manners depending upon bacterial species (JPMA 37 : 34 , 1987).

Radiometric method for the detection of coliform organisms in water.
A new radiometric method for the detection of coliform bacteria in water has been described. The method is based on the release of (14)CO(2) from [(14)C]lactose by bacteria suspended in growth medium and incubated at 37 C. The evolved (14)CO(2) is trapped by hyamine hydroxide and counted in a liquid scintillation spectrometer. The method permits the detection of 1 to 10 organisms within 6 h of ...
متن کاملRadiometric detection of bacteremia: requirement for terminal subcultures.
A radiometric procedure for rapid detection of bacteria in clinical blood specimens was utilized over a period of 1 year in this laboratory. Although in initial studies it was felt that all positive bacteremias would be detected by radiometric examination of cultures for 14CO2 evolution over a 7-day period, we found in the present study that a significant number of bacteria were not detected, e...
متن کاملControlled evaluation of supplemented peptone and Bactec blood culture broths for the detection of bacteremia and fungemia.
Comparison of conventional blood culture media with newer formulations of Bactec media for radiometric detection are lacking. Therefore, we compared the yield and speed of detection of clinically important microorganisms with supplemented peptone broth (SPB) and Bactec aerobic (6B) and anaerobic (7C or 7D) broths in 7,627 blood samples from adult patients. Acridine orange stains from SPB, radio...
متن کاملRapid detection of bacterial growth in blood samples by a continuous-monitoring electrical impedance apparatus.
A growth detection method utilizing an automated apparatus capable of rapidly detecting bacterial growth by measuring changes of electrical impedance in bacteriological medium was utilized with "mock" blood cultures containing various gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Measurement of changes of electrical impedance was found to ba as accurate and comparable for time of growth detection a...
متن کاملLaboratory experience with radiometric detection of bacteremia with three culture media.
In two long-term studies, the BACTEC radiometric system for detection of bacteremia was evaluated with three culture media each: (i) BACTEC media 6A (for aerobes) and 7B (for anaerobes) plus a thioglycolate medium and (ii) BACTEC media 6A, 7B, and 8A (hypertonic). In study 1, clinically significant isolates were identified in 1,873 (13.9%) of 13,432 blood cultures with all three media. The thio...
