Effect of cleaning guidelines implementation on microbial colony count of laparoscopic instruments: A study in a public hospital in Iran

Asian Journal of Endoscopic Surgery, 2019
AbstractIntroductionSome countries have implemented reuse of laparoscopic instruments for cost‐effective purposes. An accurate cleaning as the first step of reprocessing would lead to the effective sterilization. The purpose was to evaluate the effect of cleaning guidelines implementation on microbial load of laparoscopic instruments which were used in

Diurnal variation of microbial colony counts in frozen human milk: An experimental study

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition
AbstractBackgroundFreezing human milk for long periods may reduce its antibacterial properties. We assessed antimicrobial effects of human milk against Escherichia coli after 6 months of freezing and to explore daily variations in both fresh and frozen milk to optimize storage protocols.MethodsA study analyzed 60 breast milk samples from 30 healthy ...

Stochastic Considerations on the Upper and Lower Limits of Colony Counts on Agar Plate for Microbial Count Calculation

Food Hygiene and Safety Science (Shokuhin Eiseigaku Zasshi)
The upper and lower limits of microbial colony count on agar plate are essential for microbial cell calculation of food samples. In the present study, the limits presented by the three standards of Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare of Japan, Food and Drug Administration of US (FDA), and Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) were studied from the ...

[Microbial contamination of water by pipe and hose material. 1. Detection of colony count changes].

Zentralblatt fur Bakteriologie, Mikrobiologie und Hygiene. Serie B, Umwelthygiene, Krankenhaushygiene, Arbeitshygiene, praventive Medizin, 1988
Materials may produce a growth of microorganisms by contact with water. Pipes and hoses with a narrow diameter have not yet been tested on their influence on the microbial colonization of the water. A harmful change has been discussed especially in dental treatment units. Pipes and hoses were tested in their influence on the microbial growth for half a

[Urinary microbial load evaluation: comparison of an agar-colony count method and a colorimetric method].

Quaderni Sclavo di diagnostica clinica e di laboratorio, 1986
The quantity of bacteria of 500 urocultures was analyzed in the Laboratory of Clinical Pathology of the "Regina Elena" Institute of Rome (Italy). These evaluations were carried out both by the classic agar colony-count method (CC) and by a new colorimetric system (Dye test, Dt), recently introduced on the market.
