Frequently Asked Questions

This test detects bacterial infections in the blood using the Bactec system, which monitors microbial growth in aerobic conditions.

This test is recommended for:

  • Patients with fever of unknown origin.
  • Individuals suspected of sepsis or bloodstream infections.
  • Immunocompromised individuals with suspected bacteremia.

A blood sample is inoculated into an aerobic culture bottle, and the Bactec system monitors growth by detecting CO2 production.

  • Positive Culture: Confirms bacterial or fungal growth in the blood.
  • Negative Culture: Suggests no detectable bloodstream infection.

Rapid identification of pathogens helps guide appropriate antibiotic treatment and prevent sepsis.
