Anti-candida activity of murine bronchoalveolar lavage fluid [PDF]

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 1994
Respiratory secretions provide an efficient method for protecting the large surface area of the lower respiratory tract. To determine whether lung secretions contribute to antifungal defences, murine bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BLF) was tested for anti-candidal activity against 49 oral and vaginal isolates belonging to six different Candida species ...

Microbiota analysis optimization for human bronchoalveolar lavage fluid [PDF]

Microbiome, 2019
Background It is now possible to comprehensively characterize the microbiota of the lungs using culture-independent, sequencing-based assays. Several sample types have been used to investigate the lung microbiota, each presenting specific challenges for ...

Antimicrobial effects of lidocaine in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid [PDF]

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2000
The antimicrobial activity of lidocaine in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BAL(f)) was investigated. Clinical respiratory isolates were added to BAL(f) suspensions containing lidocaine and to normal saline. The growth of two of four isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae was significantly reduced in the presence of lidocaine-BAL(f) compared with controls ...

Galactomannan-Antigen Testing from Non-Directed Bronchial Lavage for Rapid Detection of Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis in Critically Ill Patients: A Proof-of-Concept Study

Diagnostics, 2023
Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is associated with high mortality. For diagnosis, galactomannan-antigen in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid is recommended, with higher sensitivity in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.

Metagenomic next-generation sequencing for detecting lower respiratory tract infections in sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid samples from children

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
Lower respiratory tract infections are common in children. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid has long been established as the best biological sample for detecting respiratory tract infections; however, it is not easily collected in children.

Infection caused by Cupriavidus gilardii in a convalescent COVID-19 patient

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2023
Cupriavidus gilardii is an aerobic, gram-negative bacillus that can opportunistically infect immunocompromised patients or those undergoing invasive procedures. We reported a case caused by C.
