The recent reports of invasive Group A Streptococcal infections in children have drawn attention to this relatively common pathogen. MWE has a range of products that can help with diagnosis.
Earlier this year, former Chief Biomedical Scientist Ivor J Mitchelmore and his colleagues set up a microbiology culture service, where they used MWE swabs, media and Microloops to detect bacteria such as S. aureus, etc.
A study done by Cardiff University showed that Ʃ-VCM transport medium met and exceeded the basic requirements for transport of bacteria set
out by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute Standard M40-A2. Viability of Ureaplasma species in Ʃ-VCM transport medium was stable for 4 days at room temperature. Viability could be extended to at least 264 hours if kept at 4˚C.
