In the field of microbiology and clinical diagnostics, 운송 면봉 play a crucial role in collecting, preserving, and transporting specimens from patients to laboratories. These swabs help maintain the viability of microorganisms by preventing contamination and desiccation during transport, ensuring accurate test results.
Transport swabs are commonly used for sampling from wounds, 목, nasal passages, or other clinical sites when testing for bacterial or viral infections. Selecting the right 수송 매체—such as 스튜어트, 캐리-블레어, 또는 친구—is essential for maintaining specimen integrity until laboratory analysis.
ㅏ transport swab consists of two main parts:
These swabs come in various types designed to suit different transport conditions. Some are meant for aerobic organisms, others for anaerobic or fastidious bacteria.
There are three major types of transport media commonly used in clinical diagnostics — 스튜어트, 친구, 그리고 캐리-블레어. Each is formulated to support different specimen types and microorganisms.
NS Stuart medium is one of the earliest formulations used for specimen transport. It is a semi-solid, non-nutritive medium that preserves bacterial viability without promoting growth. Stuart transport swabs are suitable for specimens like throat, 상처, and vaginal swabs.
Key Features:
Contains sodium glycerophosphate as a buffering agent.
Maintains bacterial survival for several hours.
Ideal for aerobic and anaerobic bacterial samples.
NS Amies transport medium is a modified version of the Stuart medium with the addition of charcoal or other ingredients to neutralize toxic substances. Amies swabs are highly versatile and widely used in microbiology laboratories.
Key Features:
Enhanced with charcoal to absorb fatty acids and toxins.
Better recovery rate for fastidious organisms such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
NS Cary-Blair medium is a semi-solid medium designed primarily for the transport of enteric pathogens such as 살모넬라, 시겔라, 그리고 Vibrio cholerae from stool samples.
Key Features:
Maintains viability of intestinal bacteria.
Ideal for fecal specimens and rectal swabs.
Low nutrient content prevents overgrowth of non-pathogenic bacteria.
Transport swabs are used across various healthcare and diagnostic settings, 포함:
Clinical diagnostics: for collecting throat, 코, 상처, 질의, and rectal samples.
Public health surveillance: for detecting infectious diseases.
Environmental testing: to monitor contamination in medical and food industries.
Veterinary diagnostics: for collecting animal specimens.
Selecting the correct type of transport swab depends on the specimen and the target microorganism.
사용하다 스튜어트 swabs for general bacterial culture.
선택하다 친구 swabs for fastidious organisms and wide-range transport.
Select 캐리-블레어 swabs for stool and intestinal pathogen samples.
Proper storage and handling are essential to maintain specimen integrity. Always follow laboratory protocols and manufacturer instructions.
