Comparison of Two Non-Invasive Methods of Microbial Analysis in Surgery Practice: Incision Swabbing and the Indirect Imprint Technique
Original language description
Background: A variety of methods exist to take samples from surgical site infections for cultivation, however, an unambiguous and suitable method has not yet been defined. The aim of our retrospective non-randomized study was to compare two non-invasivetechniques of sampling material for microbiologic analysis in surgical practice. We compared bacteria cultured from samples obtained with the use of the swab technique, defined in our study as the gold standard, with the indirect imprint technique. Methods: A cotton-tipped swab (Copan, Brescia, Italy) was used; the imprints were taken using Whatman no. 4 filter paper (Macherey-Nagal, Duren, Germany) cut into 5 ? 5 cm pieces placed on blood agar in a Petri dish. To culture the microorganisms in the microbiologic laboratory, we used blood agar, UriSelect 4 medium (Bio-Rad, Marnes-la-Coquette, France), and a medium with sodium chloride (blood agar with salt).
