In vitro positive controls for histochemical stains of bacteria and fungi.
Positive in vitro controls for histochemical stains of bacteria and fungi in tissue were developed from fibrin substrates of cultured microorganisms. These substrates show excellent and reproducible stain control characteristics. They are easily prepared, highly specific preparations which display greater uniformity and consistency as stain controls than do most infected tissues. These preparations may also be suitable control substrates for immunohistochemical procedures that identify microorganisms in tissue or fluid.
