AI Article Synopsis
- - The study compared the effectiveness of three chromogenic media (BBL CHROMagar™ Staph aureus, ChromID™ S. aureus SAID, ChromID™ S. aureus Elite SAIDE) and CNA media for isolating Staphylococcus aureus from respiratory samples of cystic fibrosis patients.
- - All four media had a similar capability of supporting S. aureus growth, with sensitivity improving when samples were incubated for over 24 hours.
- - Among the tested media, SAIDE showed the highest sensitivity while maintaining good specificity even after 72 hours of incubation.
Article Abstract
We evaluated the performance of three chromogenic media (BBL CHROMagar™ Staph aureus, ChromID™ S. aureus SAID, ChromID™ S. aureus Elite SAIDE) for the isolation of Staphylococcus aureus in respiratory samples in patients with cystic fibrosis in comparison with CNA media. We reported a similar ability of the four media to support the growth of S. aureus and that sensitivity increased when incubation lasted more than 24 h. SAIDE had the higher sensitivity compared to the other media and kept a high specificity even after 72 h.

Glufosinate (GLUF) and glyphosate (GLY) are nonselective phosphorus-containing amino acid herbicides that are widely used in agricultural gardens and noncultivated areas. These herbicides give rise to a number of key metabolites, with 3-methyl phosphinicopropionic acid (MPPA), -acetyl glufosinate (-acetyl GLUF), aminomethyl phosphonic acid (AMPA), -acetyl aminomethyl phosphonic acid (-acetyl AMPA), -acetyl glyphosate (-acetyl GLY), -methyl glyphosate (-methyl GLY) as the major metabolites obtained from GLUF and GLY. Extensive use of these herbicides may lead to their increased presence in the environment, especially aquatic ecosystems.

Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining is widely used to stain osteoclasts in histological bone sections. The red dye formed by the conventional TRAP enzymatic reaction using naphthol AS-MX (or AS-BI) phosphate and fast red-violet (or garnet) chromogens is readily soluble in alcohol or xylene and requires air-drying prior to cover slipping or the use of an aqueous mounting medium. However, the use of an aqueous mounting medium makes it difficult to store stained specimens for a long time.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) at the University Hospital Olomouc (UHO) over a 10-year period (2013-2022).
Material And Methods: Data was obtained from the ENVIS LIMS laboratory information system (DS Soft, Czech Republic, Olomouc) of the Department of Microbiology, UHO, for the period 1/1/2013-31/12/2022. Standard microbiological procedures using the MALDI-TOF MS system (Biotyper Microflex, Bruker Daltonics) were applied for the identification.
Accurate evaluation of factor VIII activity of efanesoctocog alfa in the presence of emicizumab.

Background: Efanesoctocog is a B-domain-deleted, Fc-fusion FVIII linked to the D'D3 domain of VWF and two XTEN polypeptides, designed for an ultra-extended half-life for prophylaxis in hemophilia A, but also aiding in managing acute bleeding or surgery in patients on long-term emicizumab. However, no current laboratory method accurately measures FVIII levels in the presence of emicizumab. We hypothesized that the chromogenic (CSA) FVIII assay, specifically calibrated for efanesoctocog using bovine coagulation factors, could provide an accurate assessment of efanesoctocog activity.
