Patients provided 20-mL blood specimens that were divided into 10-mL aliquots in Bactec-plus aerobic/F and anaerobic/F bottles (BD Diagnostic Systems, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) and immediately subjected to microbiological testing. The specimens were incubated in a Bactec Fx instrument (BD Diagnostic Systems) and bacterial organisms isolated from positive blood cultures were examined using conventional overnight identification/sensitivity panels with a MicroScan WalkAway system (Siemens, West Sacramento, CA, USA). Tested antibiotic classes included ampicillin/sulbactam, aztreonam, cephalosporins (three third-generation and one fourth-generation), aminoglycosides (gentamicin and tobramycin), quinolones (ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin), carbapenems (imipenem and meropenem), tetracycline, and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. Isolates were considered carbapenem-resistant if they were resistant to imipenem or meropenem.
Bactec plus aerobic f and anaerobic f bottles
Manufactured by BD
Sourced in United States
The Bactec-plus aerobic/F and anaerobic/F bottles are laboratory equipment used for the detection and cultivation of microorganisms from clinical samples. These bottles provide a controlled environment for the growth of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, respectively.

Two hundred and forty-nine positive blood cultures were analyzed from patients admitted to Kandgond Sacred-Heart Hospital in Seoul from March 2014 to June 2015. Duplicated blood cultures from the same patients were excluded. Gram-positive bacteria were cultured from 99 samples and Gram-negative bacteria from 150 samples. Blood specimens were inoculated into Bactec-plus aerobic/F and anaerobic/F bottles (BD Diagnostic Systems) and incubated in the Bactec Fx instrument (BD Diagnostic Systems).
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
