Multicenter 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 کاملEffect of inoculum size on detection of Candida growth by the BACTEC 9240 automated blood culture system using aerobic and anaerobic media.
Simulated candidemia was produced with 20 Candida isolates at three inoculum sizes (100, 10, and 1 CFU/ml of blood). Growth detection was better with larger inocula. The time to growth detection was shorter with larger inocula. Inoculum size does effect Candida growth detection and time to detection in BACTEC 9240 automated systems.
متن کاملTimes to detection of bacteria and yeasts in BACTEC 9240 blood culture bottles.
A 7-day incubation protocol was instituted with the BACTEC 9240 system for a 1-year period to determine the times to detection of clinically relevant organisms. A total of 23,686 blood and 693 sterile body fluid cultures were received; some cultures were held longer by special request. Of 1,609 likely skin contaminants, 42 were recovered on day 5, 34 on day 6, 16 on day 7, and 5 on day 8. Of 2,...
متن کاملExperience of changing between signal and Bactec 9240 blood culture systems in a children's hospital.
AIM To compare experience of positive blood cultures in successive years before and after changing from Signal (Unipath) to Bactec 9240 (Becton Dickinson) blood culture systems. METHODS Analysis of data collected prospectively on 7967 Signal and 7062 Bactec blood culture sets. RESULTS Significant growths occurred in 5.7% of Signal and 8.9% of Bactec cultures; 33.0% more significant isolates...
متن کاملUse of the BACTEC 9240 System with Mycosis-IC/F blood culture bottles for detection of fungemia.
A recent study by Horvath et al. (5) assessed the use of BACTEC Plus Aerobic/F and Anaerobic/F blood culture (BC) bottles with the BACTEC 9240 system to detect yeasts in a simulated-candidemia model. The authors concluded that further research was needed to optimize the recovery of Candida spp. from this automated BC system because of the high rate of false negatives and the long time to detect...
