In the example shown, two different microorganisms are tested by both methods against the same antibiotic. Introduction Some infectious diseases are distinctive enough to be identified clinically. However, because intravascular devices penetrate the skin and since cultures of an implanted prosthetic device can be made only after incision, the role of coagulase-negative staphylococci in causing infection can usually be surmised only when the microorganism is isolated in large numbers from the surface of an intravascular device, from each of several sites surrounding an implanted prosthetic device, or, in the case of prosthetic valve endocarditis, from several separately collected blood samples. Interpretation of Culture Results Some microorganisms, such as Shigella dysenteriae , Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Coccidioides immitis , and influenza virus, are always considered clinically significant.

Influenza virus infection, for example, causes a wide variety of respiratory syndromes that cannot be distinguished clinically from those caused by streptococci, mycoplasmas, or more than other viruses. University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston ; Serodiagnosis Infection may be diagnosed by an antibody mocrobiology to the infecting microorganism.
Rickettsiae may be isolated with some difficulty and at some hazard to laboratory workers in animals or embryonated eggs. Bacteria including mycobacteria and mycoplasmas and fungi are cultured in either liquid broth or on solid agar artificial media. The initial antigen antibody complex forms in a manner similar to that shown in Figure National Center for Biotechnology InformationU. For example, the sensitivity of fluorescent microbiologj stain for Chlamydia trachomatis is higher when endocervical cells are obtained with a cytobrush than with a swab.
Chapter 10 Principles of Diagnosis John A. Laboratory procedures used in confirming a clinical diagnosis of infectious disease with a bacterial etiology. Microscopy may identify microorganisms.

In some instances the presence of a high antibody titer when the patient is initially seen is diagnostic; often, however, the high titer may reflect a past infection, and the current infection may have an entirely different cause.

Conversely, a single clinical syndrome may result from infection with any one of many pathogens. Nonselective noninhibitory media permit the growth of many microorganisms.
Antimicrobial Susceptibility The responsibility of the microbiology laboratory includes not only microbial detection and isolation but also the determination of microbial susceptibility to antimicrobial agents. The selection and number apnicker tests for bacterial identification depend upon the category of bacteria present aerobic versus anaerobic, Gram-positive versus Gram-negative, cocci versus bacilli and the expertise of the microbiologist examining the culture.
The type of inflammation present can guide the type of microbiologic examination performed.
One such example is Thayer-Martin medium, which is used to isolate Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Most aerobic and anaerobic bacteria will grow overnight, whereas some mycobacteria require as many as 6 to 8 weeks.
Antimicrobial susceptibility tests are performed by either disk diffusion or a dilution method. The staff of a clinical microbiology laboratory should be qualified to advise the physician as well as process specimens. For this reason, quantitative cultures Fig.

A Disk diffusion method. In endogenous infections, the microorganism usually a bacterium is a component of the patientapos;s indigenous flora. The identification of filamentous fungi is based almost entirely on growth characteristics and colony and microbilogy morphology.
Although it is important to establish the cause of an infection, the differential diagnosis is based on a careful history, physical examination, and appropriate radiographic and laboratory studies, including the selection of appropriate apnicker for microbiologic examination. Sensitivity and Specificity The sensitivity of a technique usually depends on the number of microorganisms in the specimen.
Following overnight incubation, any zone diameters of inhibition about the disks are measured and the results are reported as indicating susceptibility or resistance of the microorganism to each antimicrobial mcrobiology tested.
If, for example, a caseous granuloma is observed histopathologically, microbiologic examination should include cultures for mycobacteria and fungi. Two methods for performing antibiotic susceptibility tests.
The term susceptible means that the microorganism is inhibited by a concentration of antimicrobial agent that can be attained in blood with the normally recommended dose of the antimicrobial agent and implies that an infection caused by this microorganism may be appropriately treated with the antimicrobial mcirobiology.
Although human immunodeficiency virus type 1 HIV-1 can be isolated in cell cultures, the technique is panickrr and requires special containment facilities. Results of the history, physical examination, and radiographic and laboratory studies allow the physician to request tests for the microorganisms most likely to be the cause of the infection. Specimens selected for microbiologic examination should reflect the disease microbiologh and be collected in sufficient quantity to allow complete microbiologic examination.
Enough tissue must be obtained for both histopathologic and microbiologic examination.
