We report a prospective study to compare different aspects of fungal keratitis such as its clinical features, microbial evaluation, molecular identification, antifungal susceptibility, and clinical outcomes.
Skin swabs were taken before and after treatment for quantitative microbial evaluation.
While there have been many studies examining storage of individual microorganisms, few studies have focused on preservation of microbial communities and evaluation of preservation methods using high-throughput DNA sequencing [ 17, 18, 21].
In this study, a comprehensive review of current knowledge in the microbial characterization, enrichment, and evaluation of effective parameters of microbial community in microbial electrolysis cells for typical biohydrogen production is summarized.
It was well established that various methods have been recommended for the evaluation of microbial infection or evaluate the risk factor by cytological studies.
We found that weather conditions of a specific year may strongly affect the evaluation of microbial quality and that the long-term assessment of microbial water quality may be quite different from the evaluation based on short-term observations.
The protocol for this study titled "Retrospective Evaluation of Microbial Presence in Existing Saliva Repository: A PCR-Based Molecular Survey of Oral Microbial Populations from Existing Saliva Samples" was filed, amended, and approved by the UNLV Office of Research Integrity – Human Subjects (OPRS 1104-3801M) on May 10 , 2011
Consequently, we propose that the evaluation of microbial cargo distribution following phagocytic cell division is a new variable to be considered in studies of microbial pathogenesis and our findings suggest the need for similar studies with other intracellular pathogens.
