Clinical comparison of lysis-centrifugation and radiometric resin systems for blood culture.
The Isolator 10 lysis-centrifugation blood culture system (E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., Inc., Wilmington, Del.) and the BACTEC 16B-17D radiometric resin system (Johnston Laboratories, Inc., Towson, Md.) both remove antimicrobial agents from the blood for culture. We compared these two systems for recovery of aerobic bacteria, facultatively anaerobic bacteria, and yeasts. A total of 5,000 blo...
متن کاملClinical laboratory comparison of the 10-ml isolator blood culture system with BACTEC radiometric blood culture media.
The efficiency of the 10-ml Isolator (E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., Inc.) for recovery of pathogens from blood was compared with that of BACTEC 6B and 7C media (Johnston Laboratories) by using 4,195 cultures from 1,662 patients. During the first phase of the study, BACTEC bottles were inoculated with 3 ml of blood; in the second phase, bottles were inoculated with 5 ml. The objectives were to...
متن کاملComparative study of a non-radiometric BACTEC system and a conventional blood culture system in a clinical microbiology laboratory.
The BACTEC NR730 blood culture system is a commercially available system which utilizes infrared spectrophotometry to detect bacterial growth in broth media inoculated with the blood specimen. The objective of this study is to compare this system with the conventional system used in our laboratory. A total of 479 blood samples were collected from adult patients in the Klang TAR Hospital and ino...
متن کاملEvaluation of conventional castaneda and lysis centrifugation blood culture techniques for diagnosis of human brucellosis.
We investigated the role of the lysis centrifugation blood culture technique over the conventional Castaneda technique for the diagnosis of human brucellosis. The lysis centrifugation technique has been found to be more sensitive in both acute (20% higher sensitivity; P < 0.00001) and chronic (40% higher sensitivity; P = 0.087) forms of brucellosis. The major advantage of lysis centrifugation w...
متن کاملInhibition of pneumococcal autolysis in lysis-centrifugation blood culture.
The recovery of Streptococcus pneumoniae from the Isolator lysis-centrifugation blood culture has been low in many studies. The poor survival of pneumococci was not due to toxicity of the Isolator medium but to autolysis before plating. This autolysis was completely inhibited by adding 10 mM phosphorylcholine to the Isolator medium.
