Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To compare the BacT/Alert FN with Botai SN anaerobic blood culture bottles for detection of commonly encountered anaerobes.METHODS Using these two types of anaerobic bottles to culture 5 commonly encountered anaerobes in automatic blood culturing system and BacT/Alert system,and then to analyze the results.RESULTS There were all 32 anaerobic bottles reported positive results by BacT/Alert FN bottles,and only 8 positive bottles were reported by Botai SN bottles.CONCLUSIONS The performance of the BacT/Alert FN is much better than Botai SN anaerobic blood culturing bottle when it is used to detect commonly encountered anaerobes.
