BMJ, 1969 Streptococcus pyogenes survives poorly on plain cotton-wool swabs, whereas serum-dipped swabs permit its survival but also allow overgrouth by other bacteria and are likely to contain virus inhibitors. The use of swabs dipped in a solution of 20% bovine albumin (fraction V) and sterilized by steam is therefore recommended, since these permit bacterial ...

Clinical bacteriology in low-resource settings: today's solutions.
Lancet. Infectious Diseases (Print), 2018 Low-resource settings are disproportionately burdened by infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance. Good quality clinical bacteriology through a well functioning reference laboratory network is necessary for effective resistance control, but low ...

Next-generation sequencing applications in clinical bacteriology
Biomolecular Detection and Quantification, 2017 With the rapid advances in next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, clinical and public health microbiology laboratories are increasingly adopting NGS technology in their workflows into their existing diagnostic cycles. In this bacteriology focused

Implementation of quality management for clinical bacteriology in low-resource settings.
Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2017 BACKGROUND The declining trend of malaria and the recent prioritization of containment of antimicrobial resistance have created a momentum to implement clinical bacteriology in low-resource settings.

The Lung Microbiome: New Principles for Respiratory Bacteriology in Health and Disease
PLoS Pathogens, 2015 The principles of respiratory microbiology are being re-evaluated and re-written, starting with the debunked myth of lung sterility. The “terrain” of the respiratory ecosystem differs—anatomically and physiologically—from that of other mucosal sites, and

Bergey's manual of determinative bacteriology
The Indian medical gazette, 1926 TAXONOMY, "that branch of biology which treats of classification in accordance with a convention or law", is the neglected foster child of bacteriologists, most of whom call their pet Bacillus this or that-coccus, and for taxonomy care nothing at all ...

Whole Genome Sequencing: Applications in Clinical Bacteriology
Medical Principles and PracticeThe success in determining the whole genome sequence of a bacterial pathogen was first achieved in 1995 by determining the complete nucleotide sequence of Haemophilus influenzae Rd using the chain-termination method established by Sanger et al.

Laboratory automation in clinical bacteriology: what system to choose?
Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2016 Automation was introduced many years ago in several diagnostic disciplines such as chemistry, haematology and molecular biology. The first laboratory automation system for clinical bacteriology was released in 2006, and it rapidly proved its value by ...
