Abstract

BacT/Alert (Organon Teknika Corp, Durham, NC) is a rapid, automated blood culture system based on the detection of the microbial metabolic CO2 by means of a colorimetric sensor attached to the bottom of culture bottles. Between May 1995 and February 1996, 2785 blood cultures taken from patients at the Microbiology Laboratory, Akdeniz University Hospital, were evaluated on BacT/Alert system. Of these, 578 (20.7 %) were culture positive. Gram-positive microorganisms were the most often isolated (70.7 %). Time for detection for all microorganisms was 28.5 ± 29.5 hours.

Özet

BacT/Alert (Organon Teknika Corp., Durham, N.C.) mikrobiyal metabolizma sırasında oluşan karbondioksitin kan kültür şişesinin tabanına bağlı kolorimetrik alıcı ile saptanmasına dayanan hızlı, otomatize tanı sistemidir. Mayıs 1995 - Şubat 1996 tarihleri arasında Akdeniz Üniversitesi Hastanesi Merkez Laboratuvarı'na gelen 2785 kan kültürü, BacT/Alert sisteminde değerlendirildi. Toplam 578 (% 20.7) örnekte üreme saptandı. En sıklıkla (% 70.7) üreyenler Gram-pozitif mikro-organizmalar idi. Üremenin saptanma zamanı tüm mikro-organizmalar için 28.5 + 29.5 saat olarak bulundu.
