Controlled evaluation of BACTEC Plus 26 and Roche Septi-Chek aerobic blood culture bottles.
Blood culture bottles that accept up to 10 ml of blood have recently been introduced for the BACTEC nonradiometric blood culture system. The new formulation, designated BACTEC Plus, contains 25 ml of tryptic soy broth, 0.05% sodium polyanetholesulfonate, and mixed resins. In a collaborative study conducted at three university hospitals, we evaluated the BACTEC Plus 26 (BP26) aerobic bottle and ...
متن کاملComparison of the Bactec Peds Plus pediatric blood culture vial with Roche pediatric Septi-Chek for blood cultures from pediatric patients.
Equal volumes of blood from 4,112 blood cultures were inoculated into one Bactec Peds Plus bottle and one Roche Septi-Chek bottle. There were no significant differences in the recoveries of bloodstream pathogens. Initial detection occurred earlier with Bactec Peds Plus, while growth on solid media occurred earlier with Roche Septi-Chek.
متن کاملEffect of agitation and frequent subculturing on recovery of aerobic and facultative pathogens by Roche Septi-Chek and BACTEC blood culture systems.
The positivity rate and time to recovery of pathogens were compared in Roche Septi-Chek (RSC-TSB) and BACTEC radiometric systems on 3,539 paired blood cultures. Both systems were steadily agitated, with frequent subculturing or processing of the RSC-TSB agar slides and BACTEC bottles, respectively, during the first 24 h of incubation. The RSC-TSB system recovered 249 pathogens (7.0% positivity ...
متن کاملControlled clinical evaluation of BACTEC Plus Aerobic/F and BacT/Alert Aerobic FAN bottles for detection of bloodstream infections.
A total of 7,190 blood culture sets were obtained from adult patients with a suspected bloodstream infection. A 20-ml sample of blood was distributed equally between the aerobic FAN bottle which was monitored in the BacT/Alert system and a Plus Aerobic/F bottle which was monitored in the BACTEC 9240 system. A total of 988 positive cultures were obtained from 483 patients; however, only 453 posi...
متن کاملUtilization review of the use of BACTEC PLUS high-volume blood culture bottles.
The BACTEC PLUS 26 (NR26) (Becton Dickinson, Towson, Md.) high-volume blood culture bottle replaced the less expensive smaller-volume NR6A bottle in our hospital. An audit carried out several months after their introduction revealed that only 17.5% of the NR26 bottles received the required blood volume. Several audits and educational programs were required in order to achieve a compliance rate ...
