Many methods were used to detect infections, including microbiology laboratory reports (100%); record reviews (98%); informal reports from providers (90%); and readmission reviews (77%).
Nonparametric methods were used to assess changes in the microbiology from baseline to weeks 1 and 2, in the form of a Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
Users should keep in mind that whenever possible H. pylori culture should be performed, and only in cases where standard microbiology fails, the use of molecular methods are really indicated.
Such culture-based methods are also widely used in clinical microbiology.
However these methods are not suitable for routine clinical use in clinical microbiology laboratories and for detection of all AmpC β-lactamases [ 15].
These methods are employed to quickly yield preliminary data in advance of the classical microbiology final report (11 ).
Many methods are developed to achieve a better desulfurization effect, such as directly microwave desulfurization, combining with other methods like magnetic separation, chemical method (adding chemical additives such as acid, alkali, oxidant, reductant), ultrasonic, microbiology.
Etest based methods are suggested as alternative methods for detection of hVISA phenotype as these methods are suitable for using in clinical microbiology laboratories.
The methods are used to detect and serotype pneumococci in CAP patients and the results from these assays are compared with conventional microbiology assays.
This similarity strongly indicates that this microbiology-based attribution method is robust, albeit in need of continued refinement (6 ).
All isolates were characterized using standard microbiology methods and re-confirmed by MALDI-TOF [ 10, 11].
