Disposable filtering face piece respirators (FFRs) are not approved for reuse as standard of care. However, lessons learnt from the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, FFRs decontamination and reuse may be needed as crisis capacity strategy
MCount: An automated colony counting tool for high-throughput microbiology. Accurate colony counting is crucial for assessing microbial growth in high-throughput workflows. However, existing automated counting solutions struggle with the issue of merged colonies, a common occurrence in high-throughput plating. To overcome this limitation, we propose MCount, the only known solution
Assessment of utilization of automated systems and laboratory information management systems in clinical microbiology laboratories in Thailand. Clinical microbiology laboratories are essential for diagnosing and monitoring antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Here, we assessed the systems involved in generating, managing and analyzing blood culture data in these laboratories in an upper-middle-income country. From October 2023 to February 2024, we conducted a survey on the utilization of automated systems and laboratory information management systems (LIMS) for blood culture specimens in 2022 across 127 clinical microbiology laboratories (one each from 127 public referral hospitals) in Thailand. We categorized automated systems for blood culture processing into three steps: incubation, bacterial
Guide to Utilization of the Microbiology Laboratory for Diagnosis of Infectious Diseases: 2024 Update by the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) and the American Society for Microbiology (ASM). The critical nature of the microbiology laboratory in infectious disease diagnosis calls for a close, positive working relationship between the physician and the microbiologists who provide
Rapid respiratory microbiological point-of-care-testing and antibiotic prescribing in primary care: Protocol for the RAPID-TEST randomised controlled trial. Antibiotics are prescribed for over 50% of respiratory tract infections in primary care, despite good evidence of there being no benefit to the patient, and evidence of over prescribing driving microbial resistance. The high treatment rates are attributed to uncertainty regarding microbiological cause and clinical prognosis. Point-of-care-tests have been proposed as potential antibiotic stewardship tools, with some providing microbiological results in 15 minutes. However, there is little research on their impact on antibiotic use and clinical outcomes in primary care. This is a multi-centre, individually randomised controlled trial with mixed
Effects of different marination conditions on the physico-chemical and microbiological quality of anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) fillets inoculated with Morganella psychrotolerans during cold storage. This study is aimed to determine the effects of different marination conditions (1, 2, 3, 4% acetic and 6, 8, 10% NaCl) on the anchovy fillets inoculated with Morganella psychrotolerans during
The microbiology of periprosthetic joint infections as revealed by sonicate cultures in Korea: Routine use of fungal and mycobacterial cultures is necessary? Although sonication is a valuable diagnostic tool for periprosthetic joint infections (PJI), it is not commonly utilized. We analyzed sonicate and intraoperative tissue culture results obtained from three hospitals to define the microbial microbiological confirmation through sonicate fluid culture or tissue culture. Of the 181 patients, 28 were classified with acute PJI (within 3 months of implantation) and 153 with chronic PJI. Among 141 patients, staphylococci were the most common organisms, accounting for 51.8% of cases, followed by Gram-negative organisms (15.6%), fungus (8.5%), and mycobacteria (3.5%). Nearly 91.7% of fungal isolates were
Development of a plant-based dessert using araticum pulp and chickpea extract: Physicochemical, microbiological, antioxidant, and sensory characterization. The demand for plant-based products has increased in recent years, due to several aspects related to health and environmental consciousness. This study aimed to produce and characterize a plant-based dairy alternative dessert based on araticum , and microbiological stability were analyzed during 28 days of storage at 4°C and a relative humidity of 23%. Energetic value ranged from 64 to 71 kcal/100g, and carbohydrate content from 9.68 to 11.06, protein from 3.38 to 3.04, lipids from 1.41 to 1.60, ashes from 0.53 to 0.59 and crude fiber from 0.86 to 1.34 g/100g among the formulations. The increase in the proportion of araticum pulp in the formulations
Preliminary study of microbiologically influenced corrosion by Pseudomonas aeruginosa on high Chromium white iron. Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) poses a significant challenge to various industries, leading to substantial economic losses and potential safety hazards. Despite extensive research on the MIC resistance of various materials, there is a lack of studies focusing on High
Characterization of bacterial communities associated with seabed sediments in offshore and nearshore sites to improve Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion mitigation on marine infrastructures. Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) is one of the main threats for marine infrastructures, leading to severe safety and environmental risks associated with structural failures and/or leakages mainly affiliated to the Desulfobulbus and Desulfosarcina genera potentially involved in biocorrosion, compared to the offshore ones. These results suggest that the bacterial community associated with the high concentration of organic compounds derived by an elevated anthropogenic impact is likely to favour MIC. Such observations highlight the importance of microbiological investigations as prevention
Predictors of infective endocarditis associated in-hospital mortality in Ayder Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Tigray, North Ethiopia: Microbiological,clinical features, and management profiles. Infective endocarditis (IE) is a continuously evolving disease with a high mortality rate despite different advances in treatment. In Ethiopia, there is a paucity of data regarding IE. Therefore , this study is aimed at assessing IE-related in-hospital mortality and characterization of IE patients based on their microbiological, clinical features, and management profiles in the Ayder Comprehensive Specified Hospital (ACSH). We conducted a hospital-based prospective follow-up study with all consecutive sampling techniques for suspected infective endocarditis patients admitted to ACSH from January

Myroides species, pathogenic spectrum and clinical microbiology sight in Mexican isolates. Myroides is a bacterial genus of opportunistic bacteria responsible for diverse infections including in the skin and soft tissues, urinary tract, cardiovascular system, and bacteremia, although the incidence of its reported infections is low, it is increasing, likely due the use of better bacterial identification methods, but also perhaps due an increase in its prevalence. In addition, their pathogenic role is limited in terms of reporting their microbial physiology, so the present work provides information in this regard in addition to the information that is available in the international literature. To describe the microbiological and genetic characteristics of seven different Myroides spp. clinical
Microbiological profile of patients with generalized gingivitis undergoing periodontal therapy and administration of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis HN019: A randomized clinical trial. To evaluate the adjunctive use of the probiotic Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis HN019 (B. lactis HN019) to conventional therapy on clinical and microbiological parameters in patients with generalized . In both groups, Actinomyces species were related to less reduction in bleeding. The adjuvant use of B. lactis HN019 alongside conventional therapy enhanced the reduction in BOMP and promoted greater changes in the microbiological profile of patients with generalized gingivitis. The study was registered at Brazilian Clinical Trials Registry (ReBEC; protocol number: RBR-59v2yb).
