Effectiveness of resins in neutralizing antibiotic activities in bactec plus Aerobic/F culture medium.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Incorporating resins in blood culture media can effectively reduce the activities of several antibiotics. It was shown that the activities of some generally used antibiotics decreased by 80 to 90% within 2 h in Bactec Plus Aerobic/F resin-containing culture medium. Bactec vials containing resins were still found to be positive for bacteria when antibiotics were present. The addition of beta-lactamase shortened the detection time irrespective of the presence of resins.

Advantage of combining resin with lytic BACTEC blood culture media.
The BACTEC 9240 (Becton Dickinson, Sparks, Md.) automated blood culture system is based on the continuous monitoring of CO2 production by means of a fluorescent sensor attached to the bottom of a culture vial. We compared two media for this system, resin-containing Plus aerobic/F and Lytic anaerobic/F. Sets of Plus aerobic/F and Lytic anaerobic/F vials inoculated with similar volumes (9 +/- 2.5...
متن کاملControlled evaluation of BACTEC Plus 26 and Roche Septi-Chek aerobic blood culture bottles.
Blood culture bottles that accept up to 10 ml of blood have recently been introduced for the BACTEC nonradiometric blood culture system. The new formulation, designated BACTEC Plus, contains 25 ml of tryptic soy broth, 0.05% sodium polyanetholesulfonate, and mixed resins. In a collaborative study conducted at three university hospitals, we evaluated the BACTEC Plus 26 (BP26) aerobic bottle and ...
متن کاملControlled clinical comparison of BACTEC plus anaerobic/F to standard anaerobic/F as the anaerobic companion bottle to plus aerobic/F medium for culturing blood from adults.
To determine the optimal anaerobic companion bottle to pair with BACTEC Plus Aerobic/F medium for recovery of pathogenic microorganisms from adult patients with bacteremia and fungemia, we compared Plus Anaerobic/F bottles with Standard Anaerobic/F bottles, each of which was filled with 4 to 6 ml of blood. The two bottles were paired with a Plus Aerobic/F bottle filled with 8 to 12 ml of blood....
متن کاملControlled evaluation of Bactec Peds Plus/F and Bactec lytic/10 anaerobic/F media for isolation of Salmonella enterica serovars typhi and paratyphi A from blood.
We compared anaerobic lytic (AL) and pediatric aerobic resin-containing (Peds Plus/F) blood culture media for the isolation of Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi or Paratyphi A from children. The yields from AL and Peds Plus/F media were the same with equal volumes of blood, but recovery was faster from AL medium than Peds Plus/F medium (10.7 and 16.4 h, respectively) (P < 0.001).
متن کاملEvaluation of bactec mycosis IC/F and Plus Aerobic/F blood culture bottles for detection of Candida in the presence of antifungal agents.
Clinical practice guidelines recommend performing follow-up cultures for patients with candidemia in order to determine the time when Candida is cleared from the bloodstream. Since this requires culturing blood samples from patients undergoing antifungal treatment, we evaluated two blood culture bottles (the Bactec Mycosis IC/F [MICF], specifically adapted to the growth of fungi, and the Bactec...
