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.
