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 کاملControlled comparison of the BacT/Alert and BACTEC 660/730 nonradiometric blood culture systems.
In a collaborative study at three university hospitals, the recovery of microorganisms and the speed of detection of microbial growth by the BacT/Alert (Organon Teknika Corporation, Durham, N.C.) and BACTEC 660/730 (Becton-Dickinson Diagnostic Instrument Systems, Sparks, Md.) nonradiometric blood culture systems were compared. A total of 5,918 comparisons were made between BacT/Alert aerobic an...
متن کاملComparative evaluation of nonradiometric BACTEC and improved oxoid signal blood culture systems in a clinical laboratory.
The BACTEC NR660 blood culture system, which uses infrared spectroscopy to detect carbon dioxide generated by bacterial growth, was compared with the new medium formulation of the Oxoid Signal system. Two trials were conducted: a comparative study of 88 organisms in simulated blood cultures and a clinical trial of 3,321 paired patient blood culture samples. Both trials showed that overall the B...
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 کاملValuable of terminal subcultures from negative BACTEC blood culture bottles.
Terminal subcultures from 5,354 negative BACTEC blood culture bottles did not significantly improve the detection of positive cultures. Only 15 of the 545 total isolates were recovered from the terminal subcultures. All 15 of these isolates were either considered contaminants or had been previously detected.
