Clinical laboratory comparison of the 10-ml isolator blood culture system with BACTEC radiometric blood culture media.
The efficiency of the 10-ml Isolator (E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., Inc.) for recovery of pathogens from blood was compared with that of BACTEC 6B and 7C media (Johnston Laboratories) by using 4,195 cultures from 1,662 patients. During the first phase of the study, BACTEC bottles were inoculated with 3 ml of blood; in the second phase, bottles were inoculated with 5 ml. The objectives were to...
متن کاملClinical comparison of isolator and BACTEC 660 resin media for blood culture.
The 10-ml Isolator system (E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., Inc., Wilmington, Del.) was compared with the BACTEC 16A-17A nonradiometric resin system (Johnston Laboratories, Inc., Towson, Md.) for isolation of organisms from 6,839 paired blood cultures. Equal volumes of blood (6 to 10 ml for each Isolator and 3 to 5 ml for each BACTEC bottle) were cultured in parallel in the two systems, and 600 i...
متن کاملClinical comparison of Sentinel, a novel blood culture system, with radiometric Bactec 460 and Isolator 10 in the detection of streptococcal and anaerobic bacteraemias.
AIMS To compare the performance of the Sentinel blood culture system with two other systems for the recovery of streptococci and anaerobes. METHODS Blood cultures were taken from 55 patients one to two minutes after dental extraction. The samples were tested by the radiometric Bactec 460; the Isolator 10, which works by lysis centrifugation; and Sentinel, a fully automated system, which detec...
متن کاملComparative study of a non-radiometric BACTEC system and a conventional blood culture system in a clinical microbiology laboratory.
The BACTEC NR730 blood culture system is a commercially available system which utilizes infrared spectrophotometry to detect bacterial growth in broth media inoculated with the blood specimen. The objective of this study is to compare this system with the conventional system used in our laboratory. A total of 479 blood samples were collected from adult patients in the Klang TAR Hospital and ino...
متن کاملAdvantage of combining resin with lytic BACTEC blood culture media.
The BACTEC 9240 (Becton Dickinson, Sparks, Md.) automated blood culture system is based on the continuous monitoring of CO2 production by means of a fluorescent sensor attached to the bottom of a culture vial. We compared two media for this system, resin-containing Plus aerobic/F and Lytic anaerobic/F. Sets of Plus aerobic/F and Lytic anaerobic/F vials inoculated with similar volumes (9 +/- 2.5...
