background the prognostic value of blood culture testing in the diagnosis of bacteremia is limited by contamination. objectives in this multicenter study, the aim was to evaluate the contamination rates of blood cultures as well as the parameters that affect the culture results. materials and methods sample collection practices and culture data obtained from 16 university/research hospitals wer...

Bacteriological Technique, A laboratory guide to, tor tne medical, dental and technical student. By JW. H. Eyre, with 170 Illustrations. W. B Saunders & Co., 1902. This work is a handsome volume of 350 pages with numerous useful illustrations, chiefly of a diagrammatic nature. The descriptions contain full details of the various points treated of, and will be most useful for ready reference in ...

Part II consists of the methods of bacteriological technique, and its contents are of value both to the laboratory worker and the advanced student. A surprising amount of information is available which would otherwise have to be obtained from various and probably obscure sources. The recipes for media-making are comprehensive and varied, and the methods well arranged. They include, among others...

BACKGROUND Urinary tract infection diagnosis is based on urine culture, taken from a midstream collection. Obtaining samples in this manner is difficult in elderly patients suffering from incontinence and in infants. OBJECTIVES (1) Develop a method for urine collection using gel-based diapers and (2) compare culture results from gel-based diapers with those of the same urine, examined by acce...

opportunity of keeping up the organic chemistry which they were required to study for their various degrees. The work opens with a preliminary chapter on .chemical action of living matter and proceeds with a description of ordinary bacteriological technique. Chapters 3 and 4, as already mentioned, are largely taken up with the organic chemistry and with a description of such bodies as sugars, e...

Patients with culture-positive pulmonary tuberculosis were allocated at random into two groups for a three-phase regimen in original course chemotherapy. The first group was given rifampicin (RMP) plus isoniazid (INH) plus ethambutol until sensitivity tests were completed, then RMP plus INH until culture conversion, thereafter INH alone for four months. The second group received the same drugs ...

The methods employed for the quantitative isolation of stool bacteria in man have not been standardized. Schaedler, Dubos, and Costello have outlined in detail their methods for isolation of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria in specimens obtained from mice.' However, in vitro growth factors for the isolation of the bacterial flora of mice are not applicable at all times to man. While undertaking a...

In 2002 an investigation of sudden death in a goat in Wabessa village in the Dessie Zuria district of Ethiopia was undertaken using fresh blood brought to the Kombolcha Regional Veterinary Laboratory. The sample was examined using standard bacteriological techniques and animal pathogenicity tests were also performed. The laboratory investigation revealed Bacillus anthracis as the cause of sudde...
