Using the BacT/Alert automated system, we conducted a 1-year retrospective study on blood cultures, focusing on the relevance of routine use of the anaerobic bottle. The rate of patients with positive blood cultures was 19.7%. Among these, 13.5% had a positive anaerobic bottle in the absence of any aerobic bottle, and 2/3 of these grew with nonobligate anaerobes. These patients were hospitalize...

Blood was cultured in two vacuum bottles containing Columbia broth. Filtered air was admitted to one bottle (aerobic); the unvented bottle was considered anaerobic. Cultures were incubated at 35 C until growth occurred or for at least 7 days. Of 744 organisms isolated, 50% were isolated from both bottles, 30% from the aerobic bottle only, and 20% from the anaerobic bottle only. These results in...

-A novel method of detecting faulty bottles in a bottle filling industrial process has been proposed in this paper. Here we analyse the simulation study of one programmable logic controller (PLC) based control system by building up a program using ladder diagram and different addressing modes of SIEMENS PLC. This paper also presents comprehensive simulation of the performance of the different s...

With the European Green Deal, importance of recycled products and materials has increased. Specifically, for PET bottles, a high content material (rPET) is demanded by industry consumers. This study was carried out in lab environment replicating real-life industrial processes, to investigate possible impacts on rPET quality over eleven recycling loops, aiming use amounts repetitively. A cycle i...

Intelligent empty bottle inspection system is an important inspection equipment of empty bottle before filling beer, and it is a blend of machine vision, precision machine and real-time control. They need to cooperate perfectly to achieve the desired effect. In the design of the empty bottle inspection system, one of the key technologies is the bottle bottom detection which affects the speed an...

The performance of the BacT/Alert PF (Organon-Teknika Corp., Durham, N.C.), a new nonvented pediatric FAN blood culture bottle, was compared to that of the original pediatric bottle, the Pedi-BacT, with matched aerobic cultures obtained from two separate facilities. A total of 244 clinically significant isolates were recovered from 4,015 compliant pairs. Among the positive cultures, 170 (70%) i...

Numerous studies have documented the cariogenic effects of prolonged or nocturnal bottle feeding in children. Guidelines prepared by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) suggest that pediatricians advise parents to begin bottle weaning when their child is approximately nine months of age and accomplish weaning soon after the first birthday. However, little information exists concerning the ...
