Endbefund - Mikrobiologie
Dear Colleagues,
We are translating an Endbefund - Mikrobiologie
"Material:
Abstrich – Rachen
Anforderung auf 2019-nCorona-Virus
Ct-Wert:
Der ct-Wert (cycle threshold) beschreibt die Anzahl an Zyklen, nach dem das Nachweissignal exponentiell gegenüber dem Hintergrundwert ansteigt.
Der ct-Wert ist stark abhängig von der Qualität des Abstrichs, der Lagerung und der Testung an sich.
„Bisherige Korrelationen des Ct-Wertes mit der Anzüchtbarkeit beziehen sich zum überwiegenden Teil auf Abstrichmaterial aus dem oberen Respirationstrakt."
Just trying an educated guess here: Anzüchtbarkeit has to do with growing bacteria or cultures, right? What does the lab grow when testing for coronavirus bacteria or virus? Any ideas how best to translate this?
Any help would be much appreciated. Keep well and safe :)

Die kulturelle Diagnostik von MAP kann weiterhin durch MAP-Zellen, die aufgrund eines
Hitzeverfahrens überlebt haben, aber nicht mehr anzüchtbar sind („Viable But Non Culturable“; VBNC), erschwert werden.

The findings are consistent with laboratory data showing for SARS-CoV-2 that Ct values of 29·3 (steel surface) or 29·5 (plastic surface) correlate with the detection of culturable virus, whereas Ct values of 32·5 (steel surface) or 32·7 (plastic surface) correlate with the detection of non-culturable virus.

To clarify the correlation between the culturability of the virus from clinical specimens and the RNA copy number, in the present study, we investigated the culturability of a total of 60 specimens from 50 laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 patients that were collected from 25 January to the end of March 2020 in Taiwan.

cultivability
I would propose cultivability as an alternative solution here, since you cultivate a bacteria... maybe it is different for a virus - but yes depends what you are growing or cultivating.
Culturability is an elegant answer and does get more hits on a quick google search, but I have a feeling there may be a twist in the tale here... up to you of course. Great question !!

: Why bother posting an incorrect answer when the correct one is staring you in the face? Also, your unclickable link has has stretched the screen..

: I think it’s unnecessarily absolutist to say that this suggestion is incorrect, even if there may be a more fitting solution.
