Evaluations Of Detection Methods Of Bacterial Contamination In Platelet Components

Author(s): Peyman Beigi

Platelet components (PCs) have vast applications in medical cases. Since PCs store in room temperature (among 20- 24 o c), they may be liable to bacterial contamination. There are varied methods for figuring out bacterial contamination in PCs. These strategies categorized into two groups: Firstly, culture primarily based strategies and secondly, nonculture based totally techniques. Both of them have a couple of merits and demerits. BacT/ALERT is a culture-based totally technique, which has been approved with the aid of the food and drug administration. Although sensitivity and specificity of this method might be controversial and isn't universal. This approach is taken into consideration as gold standard contemporary approach and it is a ways extra reliable and notable in contrast with the contamination detection strategies. It is assumed that, software of rapid strategies play an essential function in detection of bacterial contamination in the future. Accordingly, this look at aimed to represent a summary of each method, which turned into used for bacterial contamination detection in PCs with detailed evaluation of cultureprimarily based techniques, particularly BacT/ALERT.
