Perhaps but culturing bacteria that are NOT a part of SKIN flora, proves lab contamination for all intents and purposes IMO.
Conversely culturing dermal flora suggests a problem with the users technique

While this is true, i find it highly suspect that multiple people are reporting infections from the same sources gear.
While i can't say for certain and have no lab tests to solidify the claim of dirty gear, i believe it to be either one hell of a coincidence or there's something wrong with D-Labs/DGS Labs gear.
Either way, the community and especially the desperate noobs that lurk in the shadows should be made aware that "something smell's rotten in the state of Denmark."
While I agree what you're describing is highly suspect it's difficult to KNOW in the absence of formal culturing.
IME localized infections as in cellulitis, are usually the result of SLOPPY user technique, while early onset frank abscess formation is more likely the result of contaminated gear.

Don't take this in an adversarial
manner but I'd like to hear the accounts from these folk if possible ?

Absolutely not, i know you have the communities best interests in mind as well as wanting to know the facts behind these infections.
Unless i'm mistaken, all who have been affected by this have posted in the thread below.
D-Labs Introduction
Briefly did any of these folk develop an abscess with drainage?
How many noobs, as in first time cyclists, were included in the group that developed an infection?
How many of those involved saw a HCP and were prescribed ABX?

I'm number three with an infection. I
Number three with an infection. I went to a urgent care and received kefflex for cellulitis in my left glute. I am fairly new to the world of AAS but I'm no stranger to injecting myself with drugs unfortunately due to a past substance abuse problem. I rotate injection sites, swab the stopper and injection site and I change out the needle after drawing. I use a 23 g 1" syringe and go down at a 90 degree angle to make sure it's IM. While any number of things could have went wrong I just find it to be a pretty big coincidence that two others from the meso community were infected by the same gear.
Number three with an infection here. My injection technique is good and sterile. If I did do something to cause this I have no idea where I went wrong. I did go to a urgent care and was prescribed kefflex for cellulitis. I just think it would be one hell of a coincidence that three meso members got infected from the same gear. Anything is possible but I know I'm not taking a chance with that gear again and threw it in the trash.
That's all I'd need to know.
My error for not emphasizing that point, and will add, the TRASH is the best place for gear beleived to be the source of an infections complication.
Yet since some pin up to 3 AAS in
one injection I can understand why such an approach may seem less than ideal, as it could involve trashing three vials of anabolics.
For those folk a thorough review of their technique seems most prudent.
Nonetheless it's always best to error on the side of caution, (as in the trash can) knowing a HCP visit will readily reach $150 !

If it wasn't infections then there's a problem with brewing techniques.
Yes better to just chunk it. I've already spent well over a $100 on dr visits , meds, and a heating pad because of the infection. I went to a different urgent care today to get a second opinion because I wasn't too confident in the last dr. Good thing I did because the dr today said kefflex should not have been prescribed, it should have been bactrim all along. It's still cellulitis and not a abscess though so for that I'm grateful.
Ive seen enough . BAN DGS-LABZ 4-EVER !!

DGS has had a checkered past...
And with a rep like @Gutta sure is an amateur bathtub operation.
FYI
TWO bacterial species are the cause of most skin infections (AKA cellulitis) in immunocompetent adults - Staph and Strep
KEFLEX provides good coverage for both species with one outlier MRSA!
Bactrim provides good Staph (MRSA in particular) coverage,but is considered a relatively weak anti microbial against Streptococci sp.
Consequently Bactrim is ADDED whenever MRSA is suspected.
MRSA should be a concern in those patients who fail to improve or worsen AFTER 72 hours of Keflex therapy.

Well I was a little unsure about the first dr who prescribed me kefflex. When I asked her why is the infection is so hard feeling her reply was " sometimes it just beez like that". That kind of made me think I might need to get a second opinion.
I can only say I routinely prescribe Cefhexalin (Keflex) as mono-therapy for soft tissue infections, as do many other physicians.
However bc of its limited Strep coverage, in the absence of patient specific culture and sensitivity data, Bactrim alone as empiric therapy for soft tissue infections is less than ideal.

Do you tell your patients sometimes it just beez like that when asked a question?
In your case I'd ask for clarification such as; "a hard feeling infection" what does that mean.
I was joking with you man. But can you see why I was a little hesitant about her diagnosis after she said that?
The infected area on my ass is hard as a rock. That's what I meant when I asked why does it feel so hard.
