Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To develop a prospective evaluation strategy to detect the first 3 days of incubation of the clinically significant isolates. METHODS With blood culture positive sample by BacT/Alert~3D and direct identification and antimicrobial susceptibility tests by VITEK32 in clinics to compare with those obtained from cards(GPI,GPS-106,GNI+,GNS-506) incubated with standardized bacterial suspension obtained following subculture to chocolate agar plates and CHRMagarTM microbiology. RESULTS There were 3 strategy reports performed.The sensitivity was 99.18%,specificity was 99.62%,validity was 98.89%,incidence rate was 25.4%,positive predictive value was 99.18%,negative predictive value was 99.62%,positive likelihood ratio was 261,and negative likelihood rate was 0.008. CONCLUSIONS In the first 3 days of incubation,99.36% of the(1 701) clinically significant isolates were detected,suggesting that routine incubation for more than 3 days be not necessary for FA and FN bottles.These findings suggest that VITEK-32 cards inoculated directly from BacT/Alert culture positive bottles provide acceptable bacterial identification or susceptibility testing for Enterobacteriaceae and Staphylococcus,and decrease the time lapse between initial inoculation of blood culture and the reporting of the results.
