• UTI• Bacteremia• Pneumonia• Surgical wounds

BACTEREMIA
SPECIMEN COLLECTION• Venipuncture• The skin is cleaned with 80% to 90% ethanol
followed by an iodine based compound scrubbed in a concentric fashion qround the venipuncture site
![Page 11: Nosocomial infections](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013011/5563288cd8b42a5c7b8b4599/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
BLOOD CULTURE METHODS• Aerobic culture bottle • It contains a soybean casein digest broth,
trypticase soy broth,brain heart infusion ,brucella agar, or columbia broth base
• Anaerobic broth media contain same contents but 0.5% cysteine may be added
![Page 12: Nosocomial infections](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013011/5563288cd8b42a5c7b8b4599/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
ANTICOAGULANTS AND OTHER ADDITIVES:• Sodium polyanetholsulfonaye• Sodium amylosulfate• Sodium citrate• EDTA

NEWER BLOOD CULTURE SYSTEMS
BIPHASIC BROTH-SLIDE SYSTEM: consists of a slide paddle containing chocolate, macconkey, and malt extract agars in a standard broth bottle. Bacterial growth appears as small discrete colonies or confluent growth on he paddle

CONTINUOS MONITORING BLOOD CULTURE SYSTEMS:
• BACTEC system involves measuring the amount of 14CO2 released from the bacterial colonies and calculating the growth index

PNEUMONIA
SPECIMEN COLLECTION:• Patients should be instructed to rinse out their
mouth and collect a deep sputum specimen• The purpose is to collect lung secretions and
not saliva or drainage from nasopharynx• Bronchoscope may also be used
![Page 16: Nosocomial infections](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013011/5563288cd8b42a5c7b8b4599/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
DIRECT MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION:• Direct gram stained smear• Samples with greater than 25 neutrophils and
fewer than 10 epithelial cells are positive• The morphology of the organisms present also
helpsCULTURE:• Sheeps blood agar, macconkey, and chocolate
agar plates are used for culture

CHRONIC PNEUMONIA
DIRECT MICROSCOPY:• Acid fast stains such as Kinyoun, Ziehl Neelson
are used for mycobacterium• Potassium hydroxide and coflour white are
commonly used to detect yeast cells and hyphal elements
• Culture and rapid diagnostic tests such as Nucleic amplification test are also used
![Page 18: Nosocomial infections](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013011/5563288cd8b42a5c7b8b4599/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
SURGICAL INFECTIONS
• Specimen is collected by wound swabs , drainage collection and tissue sample
• Culture methods are used for culturing the tissue sample
• Examination is done by histopathologic or radiographic examination
![Page 19: Nosocomial infections](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013011/5563288cd8b42a5c7b8b4599/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
UTI
SPECIMEN COLLECTION: Cntamination by vaginal, anal and urethral flora
should be preventedMIDSTREAM SPECIMEN COLLECTION:• The first portion of the voided urine is discarded
and the midstream urine is collected• This is done to prevent the contamination by
normal flora
![Page 20: Nosocomial infections](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013011/5563288cd8b42a5c7b8b4599/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
CATHETERISED SPECIMEN COLLECTION:• Invasive technique reduces the risk of
contamination by normal flora• Unclean catheter may lead to infection and
contaminationSUPRAPUBIC ASPIRATION:• With the bladder full, the urine is collected
with a needle and syringe followed by skin antisepsis
• Done usually in infants
