Bacteriological culture, its significance. How to properly do bakposev

Bakposiv from the cervical canal and its other types

Microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, protozoa and others) accompany a person throughout his life. The question of the presence of infection is especially important for children, women, the elderly and weakened people. What microorganisms should be feared, how to identify them in the body, how to do bacpos during pregnancy, what to do when microorganisms are detected - this is a small part of the questions that infectious disease specialists and doctors of other profiles hear from their patients.

Before treating the infection, you need to:

  • to suspect its presence in the body;
  • to isolate from tissues;
  • verify (confirm) the type of infectious agent that affected the body.

In medicine, a number of clinical studies have been developed, thanks to which the identification of microorganisms that provoked this or that infectious disease is carried out. One of the most informative research methods is bacteriological culture. Its essence is that the secretions of the human body are placed on nutrient media, on which colonies (accumulations) of certain microorganisms can grow. Deciphering the results of back-seeding does not require complex equipment - the colonies are evaluated visually, their characteristics, which allow to recognize one or another infectious agent, have long been described.

Benefits of back sowing, indications for carrying out

Bacterial culture is one of the most popular methods of laboratory research due to the following characteristics:

  • requirement of relatively small material resources;
  • high informativeness (often the correct diagnosis of the disease, the determination of which is difficult due to unclear or absent symptoms, can be made only thanks to the evaluation of the results of bacculture);
  • a high level of specificity (that is, it is almost impossible to observe that the colonies of different pathogens look the same, which would introduce confusion during diagnosis);
  • to understand what the bacteriological culture shows, only knowledge in clinical microbiology and clinical analysis is needed, in some cases - dandruff. Special complex equipment is not needed;
  • possibility of studying any biological fluid from any organs and tissues of the human body.

Some nuances of conducting this research should also be taken into account:

  • not every doctor or nurse can be involved in carrying out this method of research - the staff must be specially trained in how to correctly perform material collection and how to correctly make bacpos;
  • it takes a certain amount of time to get results (in other words, microorganisms need time to ""grow"" in the form of colonies).

Indications for bacteriological culture:

  • signs of an infectious process;
  • symptoms of the inflammatory process, even if it is suspected that it is aseptic (without the participation of microflora);
  • clinical situations when there was contact between a healthy person and an infected person, but the symptoms have not yet manifested due to the specifics of the infectious disease.

The answer to the question ""How long does bakposov take?"" simple: applying the biological fluid to the nutrient medium (actually, seeding the material) takes a few minutes. The first colonies can be obtained in a time interval from 3-4 days to 3-4 weeks.

Bacterial culture in obstetrics and gynecology

Infectious impression of the female body is one of the main problems of reproductive medicine. Infection of the expectant mother with an infectious agent affects not only her personal well-being, but also:

  • ability to get pregnant;
  • possibility of carrying a fetus without threats of termination of pregnancy;
  • health of the future child.

Therefore, bacteriological culture is very important in the diagnosis of gynecological infections (including hidden ones or those with very minor clinical manifestations). In particular, the analysis of vaginal microflora, which protects a woman's reproductive system from pathogenic microorganisms, is of great clinical importance.

For pregnant women, bacteriological culture is a mandatory procedure.

The accuracy of the research results depends not only on the qualifications of medical professionals, but also on the awareness of the woman herself. Yes, for back-seeding from the cervical canal or vagina, it is necessary that the patient does not wash or douche. Do not use hygienic detergents or even plain clean water.

How to make bakposov correctly

Despite the fact that bakposiv is technically one of the simplest procedures in medicine, there are certain rules for its implementation. The key ones are:

  • the collection of biomaterial from the same person must be done separately - in other words, it is necessary to ensure that the different fluids to be examined do not mix with each other even minimally (for example, urine on bacpos and secretions from the genitals);
  • li>
  • only one biological fluid should be sown per nutrient medium in a medical vessel;
  • the cups with the sown material must be in certain conditions - at the specified temperature, humidity, degree of illumination, and so on;
  • medical staff should do the culture, observing the safety rules, so as not to get infected themselves.
