Initial Concentration of Staphylococcus epidermidis in Simulated Pediatric Blood Cultures Correlates with Time to Positive Results with the Automated, Continuously Monitored BACTEC Blood Culture System

The relationship of initial concentration of Staphylococcus epidermidis in blood cultures and time to positivity (TTP) in an automated, continuously monitored blood culture system was assessed. Blood and 1 to 1,000 CFU of S. epidermidis per ml in stationary or exponential phase were inoculated in BA...
