Time to positivity and detection of growth in anaerobic blood culture vials predict the presence of Candida glabrata in candidemia: a two-center European cohort study.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study shows the accuracy of exclusive or earlier growth in anaerobic vials to predict Candida glabrata in a large series of candidemic patients from two European hospitals using the Bactec 9240 system. Alternatively, C. glabrata can be predicted by a time to positivity cutoff value, which should be determined for each setting.

Usefulness of time-to-positivity in aerobic and anaerobic vials to predict the presence of Candida glabrata in patients with candidaemia.
OBJECTIVES To determine whether time-to-positivity (TTP) in aerobic and anaerobic blood culture vials is useful to predict the presence of Candida glabrata in patients with candidaemia. METHODS TTP was recorded for both aerobic and anaerobic vials for each blood culture set of monomicrobial candidaemia. We considered TTP as the shortest time registered for any positive vial. Two diagnostic cr...
متن کاملCatheter-related candidemia and identification of causative Candida species in patients with cardiovascular disorder
Background and Purpose: Catheter-related blood circulation infection is the most dangerous and serious side-effects of vascular catheters, which leads to the enhancement of the costs, mortality, and hospital stay duration, especially in the Intensive Care Unit. Regarding this, the aim of the current study was to identify the prevalence of catheter-induced candidemia in the Tehran Heart Center, ...
متن کاملComparative analysis of simulated candidemia using two different blood culture systems and the rapid identification of Candida albicans.
The goal of this study was to determine the time to detection of Candida species isolates using the two most commonly used automated blood culture systems, and to evaluate rapid, widely available methods for the presumptive identification of C. albicans. Candidemia models of eight commonly detected Candida species were prepared using ATCC standards. The times to detection were evaluated using t...
متن کاملEtiologic Agents of Candidemia in Pediatric Immunocompromised Patients
Abstract Background: Candidemia is the main cause of fungal nosocomial bloodstream infections and is related to meaningful mortality specially, in pediatrics. Mortality rate range from 5% to 71%, and it can reach as high as 81%. Delays in beginning of treatment have also been linked to intensified mortality. The epidemiology of Candida infection is changing from region to region. Regiona...
متن کاملSeminested PCR for diagnosis of candidemia: comparison with culture, antigen detection, and biochemical methods for species identification.
The rapid detection and identification of Candida species in clinical laboratories are extremely important for the management of patients with hematogenous candidiasis. The presently available culture and biochemical methods for detection and species identification of Candida are time-consuming and lack the required sensitivity and specificity. In this study, we have established a seminested PC...
