Two blood culturing systems were compared in parallel-a semi-automated radiometric method, BACTEC1, and the conventional method used in our laboratory. BACTEC contains radioactive 14C labelled substrates and monitors the level of 14CO2 evolved by actively metabolizing bacteria. BACTEC was as efficient as the conventional method in detecting positive cultures and indicated that it was superior in detecting positive cultures earlier than the conventional system.
同时对两种血液培养系统进行了比较——一种半自动放射性方法,即BACTEC1,以及我们实验室使用的传统方法。BACTEC含有放射性14C标记的底物,并监测活跃代谢细菌释放的14CO2水平。在检测阳性培养物方面,BACTEC与传统方法一样有效,并且表明它在比传统系统更早检测到阳性培养物方面更具优势。
