Identification of pathogenic fungi with an optoelectronic nose.
Human fungal infections have gained recent notoriety following contamination of pharmaceuticals in the compounding process. Such invasive infections are a more serious global problem, especially for immunocompromised patients. While superficial fungal infections are common and generally curable, invasive fungal infections are often life-threatening and much harder to diagnose and treat. Despite...
متن کاملMolecular identification of pathogenic fungi.
Systemic fungal infections represent a major cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients. The ever-increasing number of yeast species associated with human infections that are not covered by conventional identification kits, and the fact that moulds isolated from deep infections are frequently impossible to identify using classical methods due to lack of sporulation, has driv...
متن کاملBacterial culture detection and identification in blood agar plates with an optoelectronic nose.
Clinical microbiology automation is currently limited by the lack of an in-plate culture identification system. Using an inexpensive, printed, disposable colorimetric sensor array (CSA) responsive to the volatiles emitted into plate headspace by microorganisms during growth, we report here that not only the presence but the species of bacteria growing in plate was identified before colonies are...
متن کاملDifferentiation among peroxide explosives with an optoelectronic nose.
Forensic identification of batches of homemade explosives (HME) poses a difficult analytical challenge. Differentiation among peroxide explosives is reported herein using a colorimetric sensor array and handheld scanner with a field-appropriate sampling protocol. Clear discrimination was demonstrated among twelve peroxide samples prepared from different reagents, with a classification accuracy ...
متن کاملLaboratory Identification of Pathogenic Fungi Simplified
laboratory data processing into a total hospital system. The general conclusion was that at the present time a small dedicated computer under laboratory control is preferable. Brian Bull of Loma Linda University describes the preparation of updated patient summaries by magnetic tape typewriters as an interim measure until computerized data processing is better developed. The second section pres...
