COVID-19: Viral Transport Medium (VTM) for Diagnosis

Leave a Comment /

The success of diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 (2019-nCoV) during the COVID-19 outbreak largely depends on the quality of the sample and the conditions under which the sample is transported and stored before being processed in the laboratory. Viral transport medium (VTM) allows the safe transfer of viruses, chlamydia and mycoplasma for further research, which includes conventional […]

Complex Burkholderia Cepacia in personal care products: Molecular epidemiology and vulnerability to preservatives

Leave a Comment /

Many outbreaks of Burkholderia Cepacia Complex (BCC) infection are associated with contamination in personal care products (PCPS). This study aims to analyze the collection of BCC isolates in PCPs and assess preservative vulnerabilities, including Dimethoxy Dimethyl Hydantoin (DMDMH), Methylisothyzolinone-Chloromethylisothiazolinone (MIT / CMIT), and Methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate (MH). BCC isolates collected during the 3-year study period (2015-2017)
