Effect of Inoculum Size on Detection of Candida Growth by the BACTEC 9240 Automated Blood Culture System Using Aerobic and Anaerobic Media

Simulated candidemia was produced with 20 Candida isolates at three inoculum sizes (100, 10, and 1 CFU/ml of blood). Growth detection was better with larger inocula.
