Results of a sensibility test on bacteria in developing countries
Journal of Hygiene, Epidemiology, Microbiology, and Immunology
|January 1, 1987
Abstract:
Humans, animals and drinking water were examined for pathogenic germs in Sudan, Colombia and the Cap Verde Island. Samples taken from humans mainly consisted of wound,--throat,-- and vaginal swabs plus stools. From animals we took feces resp. anal swabs. All isolated bacterial strains were examined for their reaction to various chemotherapeutics. Gentamicine showed the most comprehensive effects. Co-trimoxazole was second best.

01:20Sputum Studies II: Culture and Sensitivity
Description
Sputum culture and sensitivity is a medical procedure used to diagnose bacterial infections in the respiratory tract and select the most appropriate antibiotics for treatment. This process involves analyzing sputum samples of thick and opaque secretions produced in the lungs and airways. These samples are collected from patients and then sent to the laboratory for analysis.
The test can identify various pathogens responsible for respiratory infections, including Streptococcus,...

01:24Automated Microbial Diagnostics
Automated diagnostic analyzers have transformed clinical microbiology by providing rapid and reliable methods for pathogen identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing. Among these systems, the Vitek 2 is widely used because it automates the traditionally labor-intensive processes of microbial identification (ID) and antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST), delivering standardized and timely results that are essential for effective patient care.Microbial Identification with ID CardsThe...
