Comparison of sodium amylosulfate and sodium polyanetholsulfonate in blood culture media.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A comparison between sodium polyanetholsulfonate and sodium amylosulfate in unvented vacuum blood culture bottles containing tryptic soy broth was made with 5,800 sets of blood cultures. No statistically significant differences in isolation rates of bacteria were noted.

Effect of sodium polyanetholesulfonate and gelatin on the recovery of Gardnerella vaginalis from blood culture media.
Sodium polyanetholesulfonate (SPS) is used as a routine supplement to blood culture media to enhance recovery of microorganisms, but it inhibits the growth of Peptostreptococcus anaerobius, Neisseria meningitidis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Streptobacillus moniliformis. Comparative clinical blood culture studies at the University of Colorado Hospital suggested that SPS also inhibits the growth ...
متن کاملEffects of two blood culture anticoagulants on growth of Neisseria meningitidis.
Tests of 25 strains of Neisseria meningitidis for sensitivity to sodium polyanethol sulfonate (SPS) showed that the sensitivity of strains varied with both inoculum size and SPS concentration. In Trypticase soy broth (TSB), 2 out of 13 strains were sensitive to 0.05% SPS, whereas 8 out of 13 strains were sensitive to the same concentration of SPS in brain heart infusion (BHI). In artificial blo...
متن کاملAction of sulfated polyanions used in blood culture on lysozyme, complement and antibiotics.
The modes of action of sulfated polyanions, sodium amylosulfate and sodium polyanethol sulfonate were studied. These agents inhibited the activity of lysozyme and formed insoluble complexes with this enzyme. The polyanions inactivated complement and lessened the effec tiveness of antibiotics against bacteria.
متن کاملMicrocalorimetry as a tool for evaluation of blood culture media.
Evaluation of optimal compositions of blood culture media has called for extensive and laborious work in comparative studies of large series of clincal specimens. Bacterial growth is accompanied by heat production, and calorimetry provides an analytical tool for its detection and quantification. A twin microcalorimeter of the heat conduction type was used to register heat effects in experimenta...
متن کاملStudies on neutralization of human serum bactericidal activity by sodium amylosulfate.
The synthetic anticoagulant sodium amylosulfate (SAS) at concentrations of 125 to 2,000 microgram/ml failed to completely neutralize the bactericidal activity of 80 and 50% (by volume) fresh human serum. Furthermore, SAS failed to inhibit the alternative pathway of complement activation in 80% (by volume) fresh human serum that had been chelated with 0.01 M magnesium ions plus 0.01 M ethylenegl...
