What type of medium is macconkey agar?
types macconkey agar
Does enterococcus faecalis grow on macConkey agar?

Why is it important to take blood cultures with an aseptic technique?
A aseptic urine collection is important so they can have a clean-catch. A urine specimen is sometimes called a clean-catch, urine culture, or midstream specimen of urine, and is a method of collecting a quantity of urine for testing
MacConkey agar inoculated with the urine specimen?
Most of the bacterial commensalism from our large intestine is lactose fermenting, Escherichia coli being one of them. When bacterial growths and colonies on MacConkey agar is pink coloured, then the organism is fermenting lactose from the medium, on the other hand, if transparent, colourless growths and colonies appear on the medium, the bacterium does not ferment lactose.The flushing action of urine, make it sterile in an uninfected healthy person. In an event where the patient is suspected to have urinary tract infection (UTI), urine of patient is inoculated on MacConkey agar medium and incubated at 37 degree centigrade overnight. In most of the cases, UTI is caused by Escherichia coli that is lactose fermenting and produces pink coloured colonies on MacConkey agar medium. Although the urine is sterile, it may get contaminated by the organisms of skin microflora or by surrounding microbes due to improper collection of urine.
Why is MacConkey agar inoculated with Urine specimen?
MacConkey agar medium differentiates between the lactose fermenting and nonlactose fermenting bacteria. Most of the bacterial commensals from our large intestine are lactose fermenting, Escherichia coli being one of them. When bacterial growths and colonies on MacConkey agar is pink coloured, then the organism is fermenting lactose from the medium, on the other hand, if transparent/transluscent, colourless growths and colonies appear on the medium, the bacterium does not ferment lactose. The flushing action of urine, make it sterile in an uninfected healthy person. In an event where the patient is suspected to have urinary tract infection (UTI), urine of patient is inoculated on MacConkey agar medium and incubated at 37 degree centigrade overnight. In most of the cases, UTI is caused by Escherichia coli that is lactose fermenting and produces pink coloured colonies on MacConkey agar medium. Although the urine is sterile, it may get contaminated by the organisms of skin microflora or by surrounding microbes due to improper collection of urine. In such cases, UTI is diagnosed by counting bacteria in urine sample. For significant bacteriuria (bacteria in urine), the count must be equal to or more than 1 lack bacteria per mL of urine.

Which type of urine specimen is needed to detect an infection?
Typically midstream urine is taken as a urinary specimen, when you have urinary tract infection. It is good precaution to scrub the genital area with some mild soap like glycerin soap, before you take the urine specimen.
What is meant by cath spec?
A "cath spec" is a catheterized urine specimen. Most urine specimens are voided specimens when the patient attempt to collect the urine while voiding. The risk of contaminating a voided specimen, with skin bacteria, is high even when the patient is careful. Therefore, a catheterized urine specimen is considered a reliable urine sample.

Will taking lasix help remove phentermine from urine specimen?

Will you have a urine test when being sued for child support?
Genetic testing does not require a urine specimen.
What is the preferred urine specimen for microscopic examination of urine sediment?
Using a standardized Urinalysis System
When checking a urine specimen for physical properties what you are you looking for?
Observation of the color, appearence, and any distinctive odor from the specimen
What is the best specimen for a Bence Jones protein test?
Urine is the best specimen in which to look for Bence Jones proteins
Does a urine collector have to split specimen in front of the donor?
nope
What type of medium is macconkey agar?
