ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical application of BacT/Alert 3D automatic blood culture system.METHODS Totally 3610 blood specimens were cultured by BacT/Alert 3D automatic blood culture system.RESULTS Four hundred and three of 3610 blood specimens were positive,and the positive rate was 11.2%.The cumulative positive rates within 24 h,24-48 h,48-72 h,and longer than 72 h were 64.3%,21.1%,11.4% and 3.2%,respectively.CONCLUSIONS BacT/Alert 3D automatic blood culture system is an accurate,quick and convenient method for bacteria culture,which can detect wide range of bacteria strains,elevate detection ratc,and shorten detection period.
