Evaluation of a rapid urease test to detect Campylobacter pylori infection.
Seventy-five consecutive patients referred for upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopy were evaluated for Campylobacter pylori infection by pathology, culture, and a biochemical test to detect bacterial urease. Forty-eight patients (64%) had C. pylori present based on pathology or culture or both. Thirty-two urease tests were positive after 1 h, all in patients with C. pylori detected by the two...
متن کاملFour-hour urease test for distinguishing between Klebsiella and Enterobacter.
Infections with Klebsiella and Enterobacter have increased among hospitalized patients. To study such infections, relatively simple but precise methods are needed for clinical laboratories to identify the two genera accurately. Moreover, a rapid identification is essential for assisting with the therapy of the patients. For this purpose, a new 4-hr urease test was developed so that colonies cou...
متن کاملRapid urease test provides specific identification of Campylobacter pylori in antral mucosal biopsies.
In a prospective study, three antral biopsies were taken from 175 dyspeptic patients during routine endoscopy. One biopsy was inserted immediately into a gel-containing well of a CLOtest slide and two biopsies were sent to histopathology. Using the CLOtest, 84 of the 175 samples (48%) detected urease activity in the gastric biopsy, suggesting infection with Campylobacter pylori. Histopathologic...
متن کاملCompression of Histopathology, Culture and Rapid Urease Test in Diagnosis of Helicobacter Pylori in Gastric Biopsy Specimens
Abstract Background and Objective: Helicobacter pylori (H. Pylori) infection is related to chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, duodenal ulcer and gastric cancer. Thus, identification and treatment of the infection have a considerable importance. The aim of this study was to compare three methods of Histopathology, Culture and Rapid Urease test (RUT) in identification of H. Pylori in gastric bio...
