Comparison of BACTEC 9240 Peds Plus medium and isolator 1.5 microbial tube for detection of Brucella melitensis from blood cultures.
The sensitivity and time to detection of Brucella melitensis by the BACTEC 9240 and the Isolator blood culture systems were compared in a prospective volume-controlled study. Blood sample aliquots, obtained from children with suspected brucellosis, were inoculated into a BACTEC 9240 Peds Plus bottle and into an Isolator 1.5 Microbial Tube. Overall, 122 pairs of blood samples for culture were ob...
متن کاملUse of the Isolator 1.5 microbial tube for detection of Brucella melitensis in synovial fluid.
Isolation of brucellae from blood and other normally sterile body fluids or tissues remains the only irrefutable evidence for the disease, but detection of the organism in clinical specimens is frequently hampered by the low sensitivity of routine culture methods. Because brucellae have the ability to survive and multiply within phagocytic cells, we speculated that phagocytosis of the organism ...
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...
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 کاملMulticenter 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...
