Biphasic system for growing bacteria in concentrated culture.

Synthesis and Cell Seeding Assessment of Novel Biphasic Nano Powder in the CaO–MgO–SiO2 System for Bone Implant Application

Objective(s): CaO–MgO–SiO2 system bioceramics possess good characteristics for hard tissue engineering applications. The aim of the study was to synthesize the nano powder by using a sol-gel method and evaluate of bioactivity in the cells culture. Methods: To characterize of powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and to eva...

Comparison of the Roche Septi-Chek blood culture bottle with a brain heart infusion biphasic medium bottle and with a tryptic soy broth bottle.

In a comparison of 1,368 positive blood cultures, a vented Roche Septi-Chek (V-RSC) blood culture bottle was superior to an unvented tryptic soy broth-containing bottle (Difco) for the recovery of all aerobic and facultatively anaerobic microorganisms. Anaerobic bacteria were recovered more frequently and earlier in the unvented tryptic soy broth-containing bottle. A separate comparison of 529 ...

EVALUATION OF TWO BIPHASIC CULTURE MEDIA FOR ISOLATION OF LEISHMANIA PARASITES FROM CUTANEOUS ULCERS IN IRANIAN PATIENTS

Clinical comparison of an agar slide blood culture bottle with tryptic soy broth and a conventional blood culture bottle with supplemented peptone broth.

The Roche Septi-Chek biphasic blood culture system with tryptic soy broth was compared with a conventional blood culture bottle with supplemented peptone broth in 6,956 paired blood cultures from adult patients. Both systems were inoculated with equal volumes of blood (5 ml) and incubated aerobically (vented) for 2 weeks. More clinically important bacteria and fungi, including Staphylococcus au...

Biphasic resin system for growing concentrated cultures of microorganisms and its application to the cultivation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

A technique is described in which a polyester casting resin is used instead of agar for the growth of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in a biphasic system. In complex medium, higher concentrations and stability of T1 colony type were obtained with resin than with either agar or broth alone after 24 h of incubation. In defined medium, the growth of gonococci and colony type stability were similar in singl...
