TB-LAMP: Introduction, Principle, Procedure, Result Interpretation, and Keynotes
Introduction TB-LAMP (Tuberculosis Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification) is a manual, rapid molecular diagnostic test endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO) to detect the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) in sputum samples. It serves as a highly sensitive alternative to traditional sputum smear microscopy, particularly optimized for …
NALC -NAOH Preparation for Tuberculosis Lab: Introduction, Procedure, Application, and Keynotes
Introduction The NALC-NaOH (N-acetyl-L-cysteine–sodium hydroxide) method is the gold standard for processing clinical specimens in mycobacteriology laboratories. It prepares contaminated samples (like sputum) for successful culture on liquid media (such as the BD BACTEC™ MGIT™ 960) and solid media. Clinical samples from non-sterile sites naturally …
Trichosporon species: Introduction, Morphology, Medically Important Species, Pathogenicity, Lab Diagnosis, Treatment, Prevention, and Keynotes
Introduction Trichosporon is a genus of anamorphic, yeast-like basidiomycetous fungi widely distributed in nature, particularly in tropical and temperate regions. First identified by Beigel in 1865, it commonly exists as a saprophytic organism in soil, water, plants, and animal droppings. In humans, it is a …
Saprochaete capitata:Introduction, Morphology, Pathogenicity, Lab Diagnosis, Treatment, Prevention, and Keynotes
Introduction Saprochaete capitata is an emerging opportunistic fungal pathogen that causes severe, frequently fatal systemic infections in profoundly immunocompromised individuals. It is notorious for its intrinsic resistance to echinocandins and high resistance to fluconazole, which often results in breakthrough fungemia during standard empirical antifungal therapy. …
CRISPR/Cas9: Introduction, Application, and Keynotes
Introduction and Mechanism CRISPR stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats. In nature, bacteria use this system as adaptive immunity against viruses by saving a memory of viral DNA. The engineered laboratory tool consists of two fundamental components: Once Cas9 cuts the DNA, the …
TOP 10 Bacterial Diseases: Introduction, List, Pathogenicity, Lab Diagnosis, Treatment, Prevention, and Keynotes
Introduction to Bacterial Diseases Bacterial diseases are illnesses caused by pathogenic bacteria entering the body, multiplying, and releasing toxins that damage host tissues. These pathogens spread through contaminated food, water, airborne droplets, sexual contact, or vectors. Despite the advent of antibiotics, bacterial infections remain a …
HVAC Vs HEPA Filters: Introduction, Comparison, and Keynotes
Introduction The fundamental difference is that standard HVAC filters are primarily designed to protect heating and cooling equipment, whereas HEPA filters are designed to purify the air for human health. Direct Comparison Feature Standard HVAC Filters (MERV 8–13) HEPA Filters (MERV 17–20 equivalent) Primary Purpose …
