متن کاملEvaluation of the blood volume effect on the diagnosis of bacteremia in automated blood culture systems.
BACKGROUND Blood culture volume is the most important variable in detecting bacteremia and fungemia. However, the majority of hospitals in Taiwan do not meet the criteria for an ideal blood culture volume (8-10 mL per bottle, two bottles per set) during collection. METHODS The object of this study is to initiate an educational program for healthcare workers to increase blood volume collection...
متن کاملEvaluation of Verigene Blood Culture Test Systems for Rapid Identification of Positive Blood Cultures
The performance of molecular tests using the Verigene Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative Blood Culture nucleic acid tests (BC-GP and BC-GN, resp.; Naosphere, Northbrook, IL, USA) was evaluated for the identification of microorganisms detected from blood cultures. Ninety-nine blood cultures containing Gram-positive bacteria and 150 containing Gram-negative bacteria were analyzed using the BC-GP and...
متن کاملNew centrifugation blood culture device.
A single-tube blood culture device designed for centrifugation in a tabletop centrifuge is described. Reconstruction experiments using 21 different organisms and human donor blood indicate that excellent recovery can be obtained by centrifugation for 30 min at 3,000 X g.
متن کاملEvaluation of twenty-three blood culture media.
Several investigators have evaluated clinically a variety of commercially available blood culture media. No agreement has been reached as to which of these media is optimal for detection of bacteremia. The purpose of this study was to determine the rate of recovery of microorganisms from various blood culture media. A total of 23 blood culture media were inoculated with 7 to 15 microorganisms p...
