Rapid identification of Staphylococcus aureus directly from Bactec blood culture broth by the BinaxNOW S. aureus test.
The BinaxNOW Staphylococcus aureus testing showed sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predicative values of 97.6%, 100%, 100%, and 98.4%, respectively, for identification of S. aureus from Bactec blood culture broth. Importantly, the test performed equally well on aerobic and anaerobic culture broth.
متن کاملMulticenter comparison of BACTEC 9050 and BACTEC 9240 blood culture systems.
The overall recovery of organisms and time to detection with the BACTEC 9050 and BACTEC 9240 systems were compared in a multicenter evaluation. In the first phase of the study, a total of 4,383 compliant aerobic (Plus Aerobic/F) blood culture sets were processed. There was no significant difference in the recovery of individual groups of organisms with the two systems, with the exception of Str...
متن کاملComparison of classical methods versus BACTEC blood culture system for culture of normally sterile body fluids
Background — Presence of microorganisms in sterile body sites leads to life-threatening infections. For early and accurate diagnosis of those infections, cultures of the sterile fluids have to be done. These cultures can not always detect the causative agents due to insufficent number or fastidious growing of the probable microorganisms in the material. Objectives — In this study, it was aimed ...
متن کاملEvaluation of three rapid methods for the direct identification of Staphylococcus aureus from positive blood cultures.
Staphylococci represent the most commonly encountered blood culture isolates. Differentiating Staphylococcus aureus from coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) is important in guiding empirical therapy, especially since the majority of CoNS are contaminants. This study evaluated three rapid methods for the direct identification of S. aureus from blood cultures. A total of 157 patient blood cul...
متن کاملRapid identification of Staphylococcus aureus from BacT/ALERT blood culture bottles by direct Gram stain characteristics.
The rapid identification of Staphylococcus aureus from positive blood cultures provides important clinical and therapeutic information. Using criteria based on direct Gram stain characteristics, an experienced microscopist was able to distinguish S aureus from other staphylococci isolated from BacT/ALERT blood culture bottles with an overall sensitivity of 89% and specificity of 98%. Furthermor...
