It is generally accepted that fungemia is an important and often life-threatening event. Unfortunately, it often remains undetected due to the lack of physician and/or laboratory awareness of the usefulness of fungal blood cultures. Many laboratories do not offer the possibility of performing fungal blood cultures and, if offered, some use methods that

Blood cultures are an essential diagnostic tool. However, contamination may impact on patients' care and lead to increased patient stay, additional tests, and inappropriate antibiotic use. The aim of this study was to review the literature for factors that influence the rate of blood culture contamination.

Effects of Blood on Blood Culture Medium
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1979The morphological and biochemical changes that occur after inoculation of sterile blood into a blood culture medium (tryptic soy broth) with sodium polyanetholesulfonate and CO 2 were investigated. Cellular changes, pH, PCO 2 , and PO 2 were monitored and evaluated ...

As a pediatric practitioner, I approach every article on bacteremia in the outpatient setting with high hopes that this presentation will solve all my problems in this area. In the welter of data presented by McCarthy et al. (Pediatrics 57:861, June 1976), I was most dismayed by the cost of proper identification of organisms.

Antisepsis for blood culture extraction. Blood culture contamination rate.
Medicina intensiva, 2019Blood cultures are the gold standard for the etiological diagnosis of bacteremia, though false-positive results are relatively frequent primarily due to contamination from skin flora during sample extraction. Correct skin antisepsis is important for reducing the bacterial load and opportunities for contamination.

This chapter focuses on blood cultures, which are extremely important clinical samples that are requested by clinicians when the signs and symptoms suggest the possibility of bacteraemia or septicaemia. Because of the importance of obtaining rapid results with blood cultures, this is one area of microbiology where automation is commonplace. The chapter
