IPM-2
![Page 2: Obtaining Specimens for Microbiological Evaluation IPM-2.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649cb05503460f94975175/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Bacteremia I
Most bacteremias are intermittentOne blood culture is rarely sufficient
Staphylococcus epidermidis Frequent contaminantCommonest cause of PVE
Two blood cultures usually sufficient Three or four if suspect likely contaminant Antibiotic therapy

Blood Cultures - Volume
Increase Volume Increase Yield
10 ml 20 ml 30% 40%
20 ml 30 ml 10% 15%
The magnitude of bacteremia may be low (<1cfu/ml)
Higher volumes have higher yield

Blood Cultures - Lab Aspects
Additives (SPS, resins) increase yieldAerobic and anaerobic bottle = one
blood cultureFive days incubation sufficient
Exception: Brucella, Histoplasma, Mycobacterium, Bartonella, Legionella
Automated Systems detect CO2 Subculture detected bottles

Obtaining Blood Culture
Locate the veinPrep kit
Alcohol 5 sec. Dry 30-60 sec Tincture of Iodine-center to periphery. Dry 45-60 sec
Remove caps, clean with alcoholPut on glovesWithout palpating, draw 20 ml and put 10 in

Sputum Culture Reliability
Expectorated unreliable because of contamination Reliability if physician observes
Laboratory reliability screen > 25 PMN’s, < 10 oral squamous cells per hpf

Sputum
Gram stain Useful for immediate therapy May be more reliable than culture
Many PMN’s with single bacterial morphology
AFB - first morning specimenPneumocystis carinii - induced specimen
![Page 12: Obtaining Specimens for Microbiological Evaluation IPM-2.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649cb05503460f94975175/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Nasal Cultures
Virus Use wire swab Place in nose 1-3 cm, rotate, 10-15 sec Obtain viral transport medium from lab
Bacterial Culturette with rigid or wire swab Suspect pertussis - special media

Throat Cultures
For Group A strept, diphtheria, gonorrheaTongue blade - visualize pharynx and
tonsilsRub swab over tonsils and pharynx
INCLUDE ANY EXUDATE
Insert into holder, crush vial

Swabs for Bacterial (red) and Viral (green) Cultures

Cerebrospinal Fluid
Use sterile techniqueFirst or second tube to MicrobiologyStudies
Gram stain - one drop cloudy fluid or sediment Aerobic culture - 1.0 ml Viral culture - 1.0 ml AFB or fungal culture - up to 10 ml
![Page 17: Obtaining Specimens for Microbiological Evaluation IPM-2.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649cb05503460f94975175/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Wounds: General Principles
Closed space infections provide reliable specimens
Open wounds heavily contaminated May quantitate
May obtain culture by aspirating advancing border
Culture skin, soft tissue or wound abscesses for anaerobic and aerobic organisms Transport in capped syringe or special tube
![Page 18: Obtaining Specimens for Microbiological Evaluation IPM-2.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649cb05503460f94975175/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Wound Culture
Closed space abscesses Decontaminate skin Insert needle and aspirate or aspirate pus after
incision
Open wound Remove superficial exudate Aspirate through margin or swab (least reliable)
Transport Capped syringe or anaerobic transport tube Rapidly to lab
![Page 19: Obtaining Specimens for Microbiological Evaluation IPM-2.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649cb05503460f94975175/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Urine - General
Collection method must avoid contamination Clean catch, midstream voided Catheterized urine Suprapubic aspiration
Cultures performed quantitatively Less than 10,000 per ml suggest
contamination
![Page 20: Obtaining Specimens for Microbiological Evaluation IPM-2.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649cb05503460f94975175/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Clean Catch, Midstream Urine
Cleanse periurethral area with soap and water
Pass initial urine into toilet, then collect specimen in cup
Instructions to patient are critical
![Page 21: Obtaining Specimens for Microbiological Evaluation IPM-2.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649cb05503460f94975175/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Instructions for Patient1. Remove underpants completely so they will not get soiled.2. Sit comfortably on the seat, but do not leave your knees in front of
you. Instead swing one knee to the side as far as you can.3. Spread yourself with one hand, and continue to hold yourself spread
while you clean and collect the specimen.4. Wash—Be sure you wash well and rinse well before you collect your
urine sample. Wash only the area from which you pass urine. You do not have to wash hard, but wash slowly. Be sure to wipe from the front of your body towards the back. Wash between the folds of skin as carefully as you can.
5. Do not put sponges in the toilet. Put them back in the plate.6. Rinse—After you have washed with each soap pad, rinse with each
moistened pad with the same front to back motion. Do not use any pad more than once.
7. Hold cup by the outside and pass your urine into the cup. If you touch the inside of the cup or drop it on the floor, ask the nurse to give you a new one.

Catheterized Urine
Cleanse periurethral area with soap and waterDO NOT RECONTAMINATE Insert catheter into bladder
Discard initial urine Collect specimen in sterile cup
Chronic indwelling Foley catheter Clamp tubing below junction (or port) Disinfect with alcohol Insert needle (on syringe) through port or catheter
wall and aspirate

Suprapubic Aspiration
BE CERTAIN BLADDER IS FULL - PALPATE OR PERCUSS
Prep skin with alcohol or iodineAnesthetize with lidocaineIntroduce needle 2.0 cm above symphysisAspirate 20 ml for culture
![Page 24: Obtaining Specimens for Microbiological Evaluation IPM-2.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649cb05503460f94975175/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
