ABSTRACT:
Structures for enabling certain microorganisms, if they are present, to grow in nutrients while the latter are situated within a human or animal body. The nutrient for the microorganism is situated within an enclosure which is introduced into a cavity of the body with the enclosure preventing any communication between fluids within the enclosure and the body which surrounds the enclosure, so that cultures grown from microorganisms in the nutrient will not influence the body. When the enclosure is situated within the body cavity, conditions are created for transferring one or more microorganisms from the exterior of the enclosure to the interior thereof into contact with the nutrient, these conditions for transfer of the microorganism being created by way of a transfer structure connected with the enclosure and capable of transferring a microorganism to the nutrient within the enclosure while the latter remains closed at least to an extent sufficient to prevent any fluids from escaping from the enclosure to the exterior thereof.
