摘要:
The present invention relates to a novel culture medium for mycobacteria, in particular mycobacteria of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, which makes it possible to significantly reduce the delays in isolation by culturing and therefore the delay in diagnosis of mycobacterioses, in particular tuberculosis. A culture medium according to the invention contains lecithin, a red dye and lamb serum, which has preferably been decomplemented. The present invention also relates to a method for culturing and identifying mycobacteria and, in particular, bacteria of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. Even more particularly, the present invention relates to a novel method for decontaminating, by treatment with chlorhexidine, biological samples in a said novel medium for isolating and culturing mycobacteria. The present invention also relates to a method for phenotypically determining the sensitivity of mycobacteria to antibiotics using a solid culture medium according to the invention.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for characterizing at least one microorganism from a sample, said method including identifying said at least one microorganism and predetermining the typing properties, potential resistance to at least one antimicrobial, and virulence factor. Said method is characterized in that predetermining the typing properties, resistance to at least one antimicrobial, and virulence factor for said at least one microorganism is implemented by means of mass spectrometry through the use of proteins, peptides, and/or metabolites as markers of said typing properties, resistance to at least one antimicrobial, and virulence factor.
