13 de mar. de 2013 · Collection of multiple sets of blood cultures from a single venipuncture or intravascular line should also be avoided. For optimal recovery of diverse BSI aetiological agents, each set of blood cultures should include paired aerobic and anaerobic blood culture bottles, and the aerobic bottle should be filled first

A blood culture is a medical laboratory test used to detect bacteria or fungi in a person's blood. Under normal conditions, the blood does not contain microorganisms: their presence can indicate a bloodstream infection such as bacteremia or fungemia, which in severe cases may result in sepsis.
19 de sept. de 2020 · Software for the BACTEC FX, BD EpiCenter, determines the mean blood volume from at least 25 culture-negative aerobic bottles by measuring red blood cell metabolic activity. This measurement method means that low hematocrit levels and delays in getting bottles on the instrument can give inaccurate results.
