The value of a routine 48-h anaerobic subculture of blood cultures was assessed in our laboratory over a 4-month period. Excluding presumed contaminants, anaerobes represented 51 (6.9%) of the total number of 734 positive cultures. Sixteen isolates (all Bacteroides) from six patients were detected by the anaerobic subculture. All but one of these were also detected macroscopically. Excluding the one isolate, the routine anaerobic subculture hastened the identification of anaerobic organisms by only 1 day in two patients. We conclude that a routine anaerobic subculture is not indicated for the detection of anaerobic bacteremia.
在我们实验室,对为期4个月的血培养常规48小时厌氧亚培养的价值进行了评估。排除假定的污染物后,厌氧菌在734份阳性培养物总数中占51份(6.9%)。通过厌氧亚培养从6名患者中检测到16株分离菌(均为拟杆菌属)。除其中1株外,其余所有菌株在肉眼观察时也被检测到。排除这1株分离菌,常规厌氧亚培养仅使两名患者的厌氧菌鉴定提前了1天。我们得出结论,常规厌氧亚培养不适用于检测厌氧菌血症。
