Advantages of BACTEC hypertonic culture medium for detection of Haemophilus influenzae bacteremia in children.
The hypertonic and aerobic culture media in the BACTEC system were compared for the detection of Haemophilus influenzae bacteremia in children. Of 1,611 blood cultures, 30 were positive for this pathogen. The aerobic and hypertonic media gave positive results in 28 and 29 cultures, respectively. Within the first 12 h, H. influenzae was detected in the hypertonic medium in 48.5% of the positive ...
متن کاملAgar media that indicate acid production from sorbitol by oral microorganisms.
Two varieties of agar medium (Trypticase [BBL Microbiology Systems]-serum-sorbitol-bromcresol purple agar [TSSB] and Trypticase-blood-sorbitol-CaCO3 agar [TBSCa]) indicating microbial acid production from sorbitol were tested. The media were devised for use in studies on the prevalence of sorbitol-fermenting human oral microorganisms incubated in an anaerobic or microaerophilic atmosphere conta...

متن کاملHyperosmotic stress induces cisplatin sensitivity in ovarian cancer cells by stimulating aquaporin-5 expression
Aquaporins (AQPs) are important mediators of water permeability and are closely associated with tumor cell proliferation, migration, angiogenesis and chemoresistance. Moreover, the chemosensitivity of tumor cells to cisplatin (CDDP) is potentially affected by osmotic pressure. The present study was undertaken to determine whether hyperosmosis regulates ovarian cancer cell sensitivity to CDDP in...
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...
