Visual and clinical analysis of Bac-T-Screen urine screen results.
Baron, E J, Tyburski, M B, Almon, R, Berman, M
Of 337 urine specimens evaluated, 75 of the 113 that showed positive readings on the Bac-T-Screen urine-screening instrument were found by subsequent semiquantitative culture to yield either less...
Comparison of three methods for detection of Cryptosporidium oocysts in a low-prevalence population.
Baron, E J, Schenone, C, Tanenbaum, B
Four hundred fecal specimens which had been received for routine ova and parasite examination were concentrated by Formalin-ether sedimentation. Sediments were examined as saline and iodine-stained...
Selective medium for isolation of Bacteroides gracilis.
Lee, K, Baron, E J, Summanen, P, Finegold, S M
A new medium selective for Bacteroides gracilis was developed. The medium is tryptic soy agar (Difco Laboratories, Detroit, Mich.) containing nalidixic acid, teicoplanin, sodium formate, sodium...
Citron, D M, Baron, E J, Finegold, S M, Goldstein, E J
The rapid identification of isolates of bile-resistant Bacteroides species has clinical and therapeutic relevance because of differences in their patterns of susceptibility and virulence. Five...
Downes, J, Mangels, J I, Holden, J, Ferraro, M J, Baron, E J
Three systems that are available for the incubation of anaerobic organisms were evaluated to assess their ability to support the growth of 25 anaerobic stock strains and to successfully recover...
Cellular fatty acids in Fusobacterium species as a tool for identification.
Tunér, K, Baron, E J, Summanen, P, Finegold, S M
Identification of fusobacteria from clinical specimens currently requires analysis of metabolic end products by gas-liquid chromatography in addition to certain biochemical and enzymatic tests...
Antigenic distinctiveness of Mobiluncus curtisii and Mobiluncus mulieris.
Roberts, M C, Baron, E J, Finegold, S M, Kenny, G E
A total of 26 Mobiluncus strains (17 M. curtisii and 9 M. mulieris strains) were compared serologically by double immunodiffusion and immunoblotting against antisera prepared against representative...
Primary plate identification of group A beta-hemolytic streptococci utilizing a two-disk technique.
A two-disk system is described which allows primary plate identification of group A beta-hemolytic streptococci. Group A beta-hemolytic streptococci could be visualized on primary throat culture...
