چکیده

We compared the use of universal transport medium and eSwab transport medium held at room temperature or 37 degrees C to bedside inoculation and immediate incubation of culture media for the detection of Trichomonas vaginalis. There were no significant culturable differences in the sensitivity of either of the transport media to that of bedside inoculation.

Viability of Trichomonas vaginalis in transport medium.

The ability of Amies gel agar transport medium to maintain the viability of Trichomonas vaginalis was determined by comparing transported vaginal specimens to specimens immediately inoculated into culture medium. The prevalence of trichomonosis in the study population was 26% (68 of 260 women). The immediate inoculation method detected infections in 64 of 68 infected women (sensitivity of 94.1%...

Quantitative survival of aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms in Port-A-Cul and Copan transport systems.

Transport media should preserve the viability and stability of microorganisms in clinical specimens. In this study, the Port-A-Cul transport system and the Copan transport system without charcoal, both designed to preserve anaerobes, were evaluated. Dacron swabs were inoculated with two combinations of facultative and anaerobic organisms typically found in vaginal swab samples. Combination I co...

Comparison of the Copan ESwab system with two Amies agar swab transport systems for maintenance of microorganism viability.

Swab transport systems are used for a variety of specimen types and must maintain organism viability throughout the transport process. The Copan ESwab is a new nylon-flocked swab designed to optimize specimen collection and to minimize entrapment of the specimen. We used the quantitative elution method with recommended strains, as described in CLSI document M40-A, to evaluate the ESwab for main...

Trichomonas vaginalis. I. Survival in solid Stuart's medium.

Stuart's medium was originally prepared for use as a transport medium for gonococci (Stuart, 1946; Stuart, Toshach, and Patsula, 1954), but has now gained wide employment as a suitable transport medium for many micro-organisms (Stuart, 1956; Cooper, 1957; Gastrin, Kallings and Marcetic, 1968) including Trichomonas vaginalis (Stuart, 1956; Whittington, 1957; Odegaard, 1962). The original Stuart'...

Isolation of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) using a flocked swab elution transport system; with identification by PCR

Admission screening is an essential part of the control of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Using collection systems that maintain viability and have high organism recovery, combined with accurate and rapid laboratory testing is critical for the success of a screening program. This review evaluates the performance of PCR testing, particularly the Roche LightCycler MRSA test, ...
