RESUMO
Studies comparing isolation rates of bacteria and yeasts from vented and unvented vacuum blood culture bottles containing soybean-casein digest broth showed significantly more frequent and more rapid recovery of Candida and Pseudomonas from the vented bottle and no other statistically significant differences between the two. Subculture of bottles on the day of their collection was shown to accelerate recovery of 48% of positive cultures by day 1. A second subculture of known positive cultures yielded additional organisms in 1.5% of cultures.
