  • Point-Of-Care Testing for Urinary Tract Infections Horizon Scan Report 0045 June 2016
    Diagnostic Evidence Co-operative Oxford Point-of-care testing for urinary tract infections Horizon Scan Report 0045 June 2016 Clinical Question: In diagnosing patients with suspected urinary tract infections, what is the accuracy and utility of point-of- care tests compared to the current standard of urine microscopy, culture and antibiotic sensitivity analysis? Background, Current Practice and Advantages over Existing Technology: Background Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common types of infections, with an estimated 92 million people affected worldwide in 2013.1 The global burden of this disease is rising, with 16.1% increase in age- standardised incidence between 1990 and 2013 and 58,000 years lost to disability (YLD) in 2003 alone.1 UTIs are also a significant cause of mortality especially among the elderly population with 4835 deaths in England and Wales reported in 2012.2 UTI symptoms accounted for 1-3% of all primary care consultations3 and it was the main indication for 13.7% of community antibiotic prescriptions.4 The 1994/5 cost estimates of treating UTIs in the National Health Service were £124 million.5 Two decades on, it can only be assumed that with the rising prevalence of UTIs combined with the emergence of antibiotic-resistant organisms, the health and economic burden of the disease is likely to have increased. UTIs are broadly defined as infection of the urethra, bladder, ureters or kidneys by non-commensal micro- organisms, most commonly Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus saprophyticus and Enterococcus faecalis.6 Other causative uropathogens include Enterobacteriaceae sp. (Proteus mirabilis and Klebsiella sp.), group B streptococci, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Citrobacter sp.

    INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE – READY-TO-USE DIPSLIDE MEDIA DA-212115.03 Rev.: Aug 2005 BD™ BBL UROTUBE • BBL UROTUBE M • BBL UROTUBE E • BBL UROTUBE E. coli • BBL UROTUBE SXT INTENDED USE BBL UROTUBE products are dipslides used for the isolation and determination of the colony count of microorganisms isolated from urine specimens. The surfaces of the dipslides are coated with two or three different culture media. All BBL UROTUBE products contain CLED Agar for the determination of the total count of bacteria and/or yeasts, and MacConkey Agar for the detection of Gram negative bacteria, e.g., Enterobacteriaceae. The third medium, if available, is dependent on the respective product. PRINCIPLES AND EXPLANATION OF THE PROCEDURE Microbiological method. Dipslides are widely used today as a screening technique for the enumeration and isolation of microorganisms from routine urine specimens.1-5 After the dipslide is immersed into a properly collected fresh urine specimen and the slide is subsequently incubated, the colony number on the surface of CLED Agar is compared to a reference picture. CLED Agar was developed by Sandys in 1960 to prevent the swarming of Proteus by restricting the electrolytes in the culture medium which was modified later several times for use in urine culture.6 It was designated as Cystine-Lactose-Electrolyte-Deficient (CLED) medium and reported to be ideal for dip-inoculum techniques and for urinary bacteriology in general.6,7 The nutrients in CLED Agar are supplied by the gelatin and casein peptones, and beef extract. Lactose is included to provide an energy source for organisms capable of utilizing it by a fermentative mechanism.

This laboratory manual of microbiology is an attempt to form a comprehensive reference source for a common microbiologist. The manual is aimed at the graduate and advanced student and the research worker who studies or uses micro- organisms. Each exercise has been designed to be modular and with brevity. The exercises have also been designed to use commonly available microbiological tools and instruments to complete in short time period. This laboratory manual of microbiology has been written to meet the needs of students taking microbiology as major or subsid- iary subject. The intention is to provide the student with an organi- zed, user-friendly tool to better enable him or her to understand laboratory aspects of microbiology as well as to hopefully make learning laboratory material and preparing for independent player of a given experiment.

The second port is for putting fluids into the bladder (right). • Urine from the drainage bag should not be tested because it may have been standing for several hours.

  • 1 Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus On
    Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus on Public Transportation Vehicles: Sampler Performance, Prevalence, and Epidemiology DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jonathan Kyle Lutz, M.P.H. Graduate Program in Public Health The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: J. Mac Crawford, Advisor Armando E.S. Hoet Jiyoung Lee John R. Wilkins III 1 Copyright by Jonathan Kyle Lutz 2011 i Abstract Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important public health threat, with significant disease burden. Of particular concern are the growing number of cases that have origins in the community (CA-MRSA); these infections often affect individuals without underlying risk factors for disease. Because MRSA colonizes a large number of people, can be easily spread by fomites, and survives on surfaces for months, the environment is an important element in MRSA transmission. Public transportation vehicles, which have high levels of crowding and significant hand-to-fomite contact, may represent an important site for MRSA transmission. This study determined the background prevalence of MRSA on buses from a large transportation agency. Prior to vehicle sampling, a laboratory-based study was conducted to evaluate the performance of four sampling methods for recovery of S. aureus from a stainless steel surface. Results indicate that overall, the electrostatic wipe resulted in the greatest performance across all inoculating concentrations ([relative sampling efficiency=SE; 2 analytical sensitivity=Sn] SE48h=17.8%; Sn48h=7 CFU/100cm ). However, the swab sampler performed well when corrected for area actually sampled (SE48h=24.3%; 2 Sn48h=76 CFU/100cm ), but is greatly limited by the surface area which can be effectively sampled.
