Anaerobic workstation clinical application solution

In the ENT, orthopedics, dentistry, internal medicine and other fields, anaerobic infection is one of the important causes. The Ministry of Health issued a detailed description of the anaerobic bacteria test in the National Clinical Laboratory Procedures (3rd Edition) promulgated in 2006. However, due to various reasons, most of the laboratories engaged in clinical medical testing in China have not carried out anaerobic culture, which may cause the diagnosis of infected patients to be unclear or even delay the treatment.

Therefore, strengthening the ability of anaerobic bacteria testing will inevitably become one of the important directions for the future development of China's clinical laboratory.

Common clinical anaerobic bacteria:

Clostridium

Referred to as Clostridium, the common pathogens are Clostridium tetani, Clostridium perfringens, Clostridium botulinum and Clostridium difficile, all of which are strictly anaerobic bacteria. Among them, Clostridium perfringens often causes gas gangrene, and the course of disease is short and the symptoms are dangerous; Clostridium difficile often causes antibiotic-related diarrhea, which is easily caused by misdiagnosis and serious symptoms.

Porphyromonas Shah and Collins

Common pathogens include Porphyromonas gingivalis, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and strict anaerobic bacteria. Among them, Porphyromonas gingivalis is the main pathogen of periodontal disease; P. gingivalis mainly causes dental pulp and apical tissue diseases.

Candidiasis

Common pathogens are Candida albicans and anaerobic bacteria. Oral mucosal infection of Candida albicans often causes oral ulcers, and its intravaginal infection is the main cause of gynecological diseases.

Lactic acid bacteria

Common pathogens include Lactobacillus acidophilus and anaerobic bacteria. This bacterium is the main cause of dental caries formation and one of the main dental control bacteria.

Helicobacter

Common pathogens include Helicobacter pylori and microaerobic bacteria. The bacteria is the main pathogen of chronic gastritis and gastrointestinal ulcers, and is also closely related to primary gastric cancer.

Campylobacter

Common pathogens include Campylobacter jejuni and microaerobic bacteria. This bacterium is one of the important pathogens of enteritis. It is often delayed due to the ineffective treatment of antibiotics, which has serious consequences.

Due to the small amount of samples in the clinical medical examination work, and the numerous test items, both anaerobic culture and microaerobic culture are required. Therefore, the inspection department of most hospitals mainly uses anaerobic tanks for cultivation operations, but the anaerobic tanks cannot achieve full anaerobic/microaerobic conditions, so the culture results are not satisfactory.

solution

      The AW200SG Mini Anaerobic/Micro-Aerobic Workstation is recommended for full anaerobic/microaerobic environment for operation and culture, ensuring accurate and reliable culture results.

In addition, its dual working mode allows the laboratory to carry out anaerobic culture and micro-aerobic culture experiments at the same time, fully meeting the requirements of clinical inspection projects, saving users' procurement costs and laboratory space.
