Rapid identification of gram negative bacteria from blood culture broth using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry.
An important role of the clinical microbiology laboratory is to provide rapid identification of bacteria causing bloodstream infection. Traditional identification requires the sub-culture of signaled blood culture broth with identification available only after colonies on solid agar have matured. MALDI-TOF MS is a reliable, rapid method for identification of the majority of clinically relevant ...
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...

متن کاملUse of Directigen and acridine orange for rapid identification of human blood culture isolates.
Of 7,871 blood cultures from hospital patients, 22 yielded growth of Streptococcus pneumoniae or Haemophilus influenzae type b. The identities of 19 (86%) of these 22 strains could be verified after 18 to 24 h of incubation by application of the Directigen meningitis test kit to the unheated, uncentrifuged supernatant from the cultures; thus, the turnaround time for these cultures was halved. G...
