Abstract
The performance of BACT/ALERT FA and FN PLUS (FA PLUS and FN PLUS) blood culture bottles with the BACT/ALERT VIRTUO (bioMérieux, Inc., Durham, NC) and BD BACTEC Plus Aerobic and Anaerobic (BD Aerobic and BD Anaerobic) blood culture bottles with the BD BACTEC FX (BD Diagnostics, Sparks, MD) for antimicrobial neutralization at peak serum concentration was evaluated. The following antibiotic agents and microbial strains were used: ampicillin, cefepime, cefotaxime, gentamicin, levofloxacin, meropenem, piperacillin-tazobactam, and vancomycin; methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus, Acinetobacter baumannii, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Bacteroides fragilis. The detection rate of FA PLUS bottles was 69.1% (259/375) and that of BD Aerobic bottles was 75.5% (283/375) (p = 0.050). In the case of anaerobic culture, the overall detection rate of FN PLUS bottles was 77.0% (231/300) and that of BD Anaerobic bottles was 71.3% (214/300) (p = 0.113). The time to detection (TTD) from aerobic culture was 2.8 h shorter in FA PLUS bottles (12.4 h) compared to BD Aerobic bottles (15.2 h) (p < 0.001). And the TTD from anaerobic culture was 1.6 h shorter in FN PLUS bottles (18.1 h) compared to BD Anaerobic ...Continue Reading
