Charcoal helps eliminate metabolic products of bacterial growth, which may be especially useful in the isolation of fastidious organisms. It is a semisolid media recommended for use in qualitative procedures for the transport of clinical swab specimens to the laboratory.

At 48h SA recovered 2/9 organisms, CA 5/9, CCS 9/9 and SSI-CS 9/9.
By avoiding the use of charcoal in some form or another inside swab transport systems we may risk losing some significant percentage recovery of certain bacteria. This website uses cookies to improve your experience while you navigate through the website. With the growing trend in centralization of laboratory services resulting in significant delays and extended transport times, increasing demands are being placed on traditional microbiology collection and transport devices to maintain the viability of fastidious organisms in clinical samples. Phase 1 Catalogue number: 1530. For each bacterium tested, three swabs from each transport system and for each time point evaluated were inoculated with 100mL of bacterial suspension using an accurate volumetric pipettor. PMCID: PMC1852288 PMID: 15108865 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] MeSH Terms. Objective: 1995 Mar;85(3):437-9 Fecal Campylobacter organisms survive well in Amies medium. Industry. 2004 Dec;40(12):664-8. doi: 10.1111/j.1440-1754.2004.00507.x. Cary and Blair Medium: semi-solid, white colored transport medium for faeces that may contain Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio or Campylobacter Amies medium with charcoal: Charcoal helps eliminate metabolic products of bacterial growth, which may be especially useful in the isolation of fastidious organisms like However it is suggested that, some other pathogens like Campylobacter can also survive in such medium. We tested this new Copan product (CCS) in our second phase study and found that the product performed very similarly to the SSI-CS.

In the formulation, Charcoal neutralises fatty acids that are toxic to microorganisms. Amies transport medium with charcoal for microbiology; find Millipore-A0590 MSDS, related peer-reviewed papers, technical documents, similar products & more at Sigma-Aldrich. -. Poster Presented at the ASM General Meeting in Orlando, FL, Eva Blomgren | Amies Transport Medium is recommended for throat, vaginal, and wound samples. SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION Amies Transport Medium is a modification of Stuart Transport Medium, introduced by Stuart et al. anaerobius both failed to survive in SA at 24 hours. Clinical isolates of GBS (n = 103), were inoculated into the Amies transport medium with charcoal in a concentration of 100 colony-forming units (cfu)/ml (10 cfu/swab). Simplify the transportation of throat, vaginal, wound and skin swabs with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Amies Agar Gel with Charcoal Transport Swabs. For a zero time bacterial count 3 swabs, designated as the 0 hr swabs, were immediately removed and place into 1ml of sterile saline for further processing. Our laboratory has always paid careful attention to the quality of all microbiology specimens we receive and for many years we have supplied a swab transport medium system manufactured by the Statens Serum Institut in Denmark (SSI)4.
