A selective medium containing mupirocin and metronidazole was evaluated for the isolation of Actinomyces spp. from clinical material. The study was a one-year prospective comparison of the method with existing methods, which use nonselective media, at a general hospital and a dental hospital. Significantly more Actinomyces spp. were isolated on the selective medium than on nonselective media from both dental specimens and intrauterine contraceptive devices. However, differentiating between Actinomyces spp. and related nonsporulating gram-positive rods remains a slow and sometimes uncertain process which can introduce lengthy delays in reporting.
对一种含有莫匹罗星和甲硝唑的选择性培养基进行了评估,以从临床材料中分离放线菌属。该研究是在一家综合医院和一家牙科医院进行的为期一年的前瞻性比较,将该方法与使用非选择性培养基的现有方法进行比较。从牙科标本和宫内节育器中,在选择性培养基上分离出的放线菌属明显多于非选择性培养基。然而,区分放线菌属和相关的无芽孢革兰氏阳性杆菌仍然是一个缓慢且有时不确定的过程,这可能会导致报告出现长时间延迟。
