  Randomized placental and cord blood sampling culture in women with preterm and term labour to detect infection 

  Farraj, A.A. (‎2000)‎

  Placental tissue and cord blood from women with preterm and term labour were examined for microorganisms and compared in this randomized prospective study. Of 100 women who delivered during a 12-month period, 50 had preterm labour and 50 had term labour. Samples were taken under sterile conditions for routine culture of anaerobic and aerobic bacteria immediately after delivery of the placenta. Fetal blood cultures were positive for 30% of the preterm group and 18% of the term group, which was statistically significant. Placental tissue cultures ...

  Accuracy of the VITEK 2 system for a rapid and direct identification and susceptibility testing of Gram-negative rods and Gram-positive cocci in blood samples 

  Nimer, N.A.; Al-Saa'da, R.J.; Abuelaish, O. (‎2016)‎

  The performance of the VITEK 2 system for direct rapid identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing of the bacteria responsible for blood infections was determined.The isolates studied included 166 Gram-negative rods and 74 Gram-positive cocci from inpatients.Specially treated monomicrobial samples from positive blood culture bottles were directly inoculated into the VITEK 2 system and the results were compared with those from cards inoculated with standardized bacterial suspensions.Compared with the standard method,95.8% of Gram-negative ...
