Effect of agitation and frequent subculturing on recovery of aerobic and facultative pathogens by Roche Septi-Chek and BACTEC blood culture systems.

The positivity rate and time to recovery of pathogens were compared in Roche Septi-Chek (RSC-TSB) and BACTEC radiometric systems on 3,539 paired blood cultures. Both systems were steadily agitated, with frequent subculturing or processing of the RSC-TSB agar slides and BACTEC bottles, respectively,...
