Impact of 24/7 loading of blood culture bottles in a new automated incubator on the diagnosis of bloodstream infections
EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF CLINICAL MICROBIOLOGY & INFECTIOUS DISEASES(2021)
摘要
Blood culturing (BC) remains the gold standard for bloodstream diagnosis but its workflow is slow. We aimed reducing this time by implementing a new automated incubator with a 24/7 BC workflow. With this new strategy, time to incubation was shorter (1.52 h vs 6.82 h), positivity rates were higher (10.6% vs 8.9%, p< 0.05), and the number of BSI diagnostics increased (16.1% vs 13.8% patients and 2.3 vs 1.9 density episode per 1000 hospital days). Our results show that implementing automatic loading of BC bottles with a 24/7 strategy not only shortened time to diagnosis but significantly increased the BSI diagnosis rate.
