Comparison of the time to detection (TTD) of different blood culture systems and antibiotic adsorption capacity of different pediatric blood culture bottles of BD and bioMérieux
Rapid reporting of positive blood cultures can directly influence physicians' treatment decisions, thereby reducing mortality and improving patient outcomes. This study compared the time to detection (TTD) and antibiotic adsorption capacity of commonly used pediatric blood culture bottles and instruments, which are currently less evaluated. Providing optimized testing options for blood culture is essential to shorten the TTD and improve culture positivity rates in patients who have already received antibiotics.
