Urine is the CDC-recommended specimen for STI testing. It was unknown if the bacterial communities (microbiomes) in urine reflected those in the distal male urethra. We compared microbiomes of 32 paired urine and urethral swab specimens obtained from adult men attending an STD clinic, by 16S rRNA PCR and deep pyrosequencing. Microbiomes of urine and swabs were remarkably similar, regardless of ...

One of the commendable steps to curb spread coronavirus disease is detecting virus immediately. Hence, most suitable sample and an accurate diagnostic test, such as a nasopharyngeal swab oropharyngeal swab, can be critical for achieving this goal. However, there not 100% reliant on sampling method used tests are possibilities false negatives due inadequate viral genome in sample. Therefore, pap...

INTRODUCTION Conjunctival swab PCR was evaluated as a tool to diagnose visceral leishmaniasis in dogs. METHODS Conjunctival swab PCR was compared to indirect immunofluorescence antibody test and blood PCR. RESULTS Indirect immunofluorescence was significantly correlated with conjunctival swab PCR (p < 0.05), but not with blood PCR (p > 0.05). In addition, conjunctival swab PCR was significa...

The majority of the specimens that microbiology laboratories receive are collected on swabs. Clinicians favor the swab as a collection and transport system because of its ease of use, low cost, and availability. What is the laboratory to do? We need to understand the various...

Twenty-four matched pairs of isolates of Pasteurella haemolytica and three matched pairs of isolates of Pasteurella multocida were isolated by using a nasal swab and a transtracheal swab from individual calves with clinical signs of bovine respiratory disease. The identity of each matched pair was confirmed biochemically and serologically. The similarity of the isolates obtained from a nasal sw...

We assessed the suitability of a frequently used sampling method employing cotton swabs for collecting animal body odor for gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Our method validation showed that both sampling material and sampling protocols affect the outcome of the analyses. Thus, among the tested protocols swabs of pure viscose baked befo...
