Bacteria identified in Genital specimen by Anaerobe+Aerobe culture

Active

Term Description

Genital culture areas include: 1) the lower genital tract (vulva, urethra, vagina, and cervix). Specimens included in this section are: Bartholin's abscess swab / aspirate, cervical swabs, group B streptococcus screen, post-partum / post-operative / post therapeutic abortion vaginal swabs, urethral swabs (male or female) and vaginal swabs. 2) Upper genital tract (uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries). Specimens included in this section: endometrial biopsies and curetting's, cul de sac/transvaginal aspirates, fallopian tube and tubo-ovarian abscess, and uterine swabs. 3) Other genital tract infections include infections associated with intra-uterine devices (IUDs), placentas, prostate glands and genital ulcers.

Part Description

LP14082-9   Bacteria
One of the three domains of life (the others being Eukarya and Archaea), also called Eubacteria. They are unicellular prokaryotic microorganisms which generally possess rigid cell walls and multiply by cell division. They exhibit three principal forms: round or coccal, rodlike or bacillary, and spiral or spirochetal. Bacteria can be classified by their response to oxygen (aerobic, anaerobic, or facultatively anaerobic) and by how they obtain their energy (chemotrophic, i.e. via a chemical reaction or phototrophic, via a light reaction). In addition, chemotrophs obtain their energy from chemicals, lithotrophic from inorganic compounds and organotrophic from organic compounds. Bacteria are also classified by the source carbon that they utilize: heterotrophic, from organic sources or autotrophic, from carbon dioxide. They can also be classified by whether or not they stain (based on the structure of their cell walls) with crystal violet dye: gram-negative or gram-positive.
