The BACTEC 225 automated radiometric blood culture system was compared with a conventional blood culture bottle method for its ability to improve the rapid laboratory diagnosis of bacteremia in cancer patients. The BACTEC 225, in combination with routine blind subcultures and smears of radiometrically negative culture vials, detected two thirds, of all positive cultures within 24 h and shortered the detection time generally by 24-48 h. With the recommended growth index setting of 30, radiometrically false-positive findings are rare and are usually due to leukocytosis resulting from infection or leukemia.
将BACTEC 225自动放射性血液培养系统与传统血培养瓶法进行比较，以评估其在改善癌症患者菌血症快速实验室诊断方面的能力。BACTEC 225系统结合常规盲传继代培养和放射性检测呈阴性的培养瓶涂片，在24小时内检测出了所有阳性培养物的三分之二，总体上使检测时间缩短了24至48小时。将推荐的生长指数设定为30时，放射性检测假阳性结果很少见，通常是由感染或白血病导致的白细胞增多引起的。
