MicrobiologyThe cost allocated to this Service in the Budget Summary of Part B is the per sample price and will vary depending on the number of samples required for method validation. If a worst case scenario approach were taken, the cost would be based upon testing MLT and AET (if applicable) at two dilutions and/or the usage of the largest volume of diluent(s) based on specification. Testing will be done in compliance with the applicable Pharmacopeia (i.e. USP/NF, EP, JP etc.). Client will be billed based on the actual number of samples and replicates required in order to successfully validate the Product.
Microbiology. It is important to understand the environmental niche of where the organisms causing CLABSI are found, including colonization on skin, to put the question of which organism groups may be responsible for early or late infections into context. A list of organisms that are responsible for CLABSIs includes coagulase-negative staphylococci, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus species, Candida species, and gram negative bacteria. Of these listed, coagulase-negative staphylococci and S. aureus account for 20.5% and 12.3% of reported CLABSIs in the NHSN data from 2009-2010 (34). Enterococcus and Candida species were also commonly attributed with 18.1% and 14.6% of infections (34). Gram-negative organisms were responsible for approximately 25% of infections (34). As previously stated, skin organisms are more likely to be responsible for extraluminal, early line infections. Of the organisms that commonly cause CLABSIs, the ones that commonly are found on the skin include coagulase-negative staphylococci, S. aureus, and less commonly Candida species (12). Coagulase negative staphylococci are found on the skin of all people (14) while S. aureus is found in nasal passages of adults with an estimate carriage of 20% to 40% and are shed to the skin from the nasal reservoir (12, 13). Candida species, or yeasts, are also found on the skin though less common (14, 15). Candida species are more likely on the skin in patients who have been receiving antibiotics, which includes many hospitalized patients. In contrast, those organisms responsible for later infections may be less likely to be skin organism, however, the extent to which catheter hub is colonized from skin organisms is unclear. Enterococci are commonly found in the intestine (16). Gram negative species are also uncommon in skin flora (14). Gram-negative organisms include Klebsiella, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas and Escherichia coli (17). Comparing organisms commonly found on the skin versus those that are not will serve as way to determine if these groups are associated with the time that the CLABSI occurred after insertion of the line. Risk factor analysis has been done on CLABSI and is important when determining what effects covariates may have on the predictor and outcome. A risk factor that has been found in studies involves insertion site of the line. One study investigated insertion site by randomly assigning catheters for ICU patients at either the subclavian or the femoral site (21). The results were that infe...

Microbiology. ‌ In July 2020, one biochemistry student and two biochemistry faculty members from the Center of Studies in Biotechnology at UVG were recruited to create the water sample collection protocols that will, in the future, be followed by EcoFiltro field staff to implement the water quality testing portion of the app. The smartphone-compatible microscopy device that was initially used to take images of purified water and water contaminated with E. coli was the MagicZoom USB Microscope with adjustable magnification up to 1600X. After initial field and lab-based trials, the team decided to transition to the Foldscope due to its considerably lower cost and interference from the MagicZoom light’s plastic rim in resulting images. This origami-based paper microscope and its resulting images have been validated in earlier studies (Xxxxxxxx et al., 2014). The Foldscope has a fixed magnification of 140X, a resolution of 2 microns, and unlike the MagicZoom camera, its lens is attached magnetically onto a smartphone’s camera (Xxxxxxxx et al., 2014). The slight lack of robustness in the Foldscope is simply outweighed by its overwhelming inexpensiveness. If it is well taken care of, one can certainly be used in the long- term. As this transition between microscopy devices occurred, images of water samples continued to be compiled and the protocols for collecting those samples refined. The refining of the protocols continues to evolve around the type of consumable supplies that would be necessary to collect, prepare, and analyze water samples in a resource-constrained environment (i.e. pipettes, glass slides, staining dyes, heat sources, etc.). The preliminary protocols-in Spanish–used during the second round of interviews are included (see Appendix). Initial test images using the MagicZoom revealed that crystal xxxxxx xxx created microscopic images with greater texture than blue India ink; yet, India ink is more widely available in shops in Guatemala. Furthermore, as the Foldscope came into play, calibration images were taken using yeast samples, which in turn allowed the UVG student to determine that heat fixation (HF) resulted in higher-quality images than air-drying (AD) as the method of fixation. The degree of light exposure at the moment of image-capture also affected the texture and clarity of the bacteria in Foldscope images of diluted E. coli. Darkfield images were determined to have a clearer texture of the bacteria than brightfield images. Given that the protocols ...
Microbiology. The geometric mean of not less than five samples taken over not more than a thirty-day period should not exceed 1,000/100 millilitres total coliforms, nor 200/100 millilitres fecal coliforms. Waters used for body contact recreation activities should be substantially free from bacteria, fungi, or viruses that may produce enteric disorders or eye, ear, nose, throat and skin infections or other human diseases and infections.
