[BREAST MILK AS A VEHICLE OF TRANSMISSION OF VIRUS].

Introduction: breast milk, besides being a source of feeding for children, it can be a vehicle for transmission of some infectious diseases.

Aim: to revise the main viral agents which can be acquired for children through breast milk and its possible clinical implication.

Material: literature search was made in different databases and books.

A new approach to determine the susceptibility of bacteria to antibiotics directly from positive blood culture bottles in two hours.

The rapid identification and antibiotic susceptibility test of bacteria causing bloodstream infections are given a very high priority by clinical laboratories. In an effort to reduce the time required for performing antibiotic susceptibility test (AST), we have developed a new method to be applied from positive blood culture bottles. The design of method was performed using blood culture bottles prepared artificially with five strains which have a known susceptibility.
