Studies on Utilization Agar

Studies of Agar-digesting Bacteria.

Studies on the kinetics of glucose utilization.

During recent years quantitative mathematical procedures have been applied to glucose utilization 1 studies in an attempt to replace less exact glucose tolerance tests. Examples of this type of work have been reported by Greville (1), Amatuzio, Stutzman, Vanderbilt, and Nesbitt (2), and Jokipii and Turpeinen (3). The techniques employed by these investigators were somewhat different, but the re...

ARQUIVOS DE MEDICINA, 22(2/3):69-74 Drug utilization studies aim to evaluate factors related to the prescribing, dispensing, administering and taking of medication, and its associated events (either beneficial or adverse). Since the early 1960’s the interest in Drug Utilization Studies has been increasing, first with market-only purposes, then for evaluating the quality of medical prescription ...

Studies with the Agar Cup-Plate Method: I. A Standardized Agar Cup-Plate Technique.

Official Circular 198 (Ruehle and Brewer, 1931) gives directions for performing the agar cup-plate test. However, in the limited literature dealing with the subject, no mention is made of the influence of varying the volume of agar, the amount of inoculum, the hydrogen ion concentration or other factors. In the course of other studies with the agar cup-plate method (Rose and Miller, 1939; Mille...

Differentiation of Candida dubliniensis on chrom agar and Pal's agar.

Difference in expression of putative virulence factors and in antifungal susceptibility among different Candida species has raised the need for species-level identification. The close relationship of Candida dubliniensis with C. albicans has led to misidentification of C. dubliniensis isolates as C. albicans. Phenotypic tests include ability to produce chlamydospore on casein agar, colony colou...
