Abstract

Bloodstream infections are the most severe forms of infection, and blood cultures to recover the etiologic microorganisms have been the diagnostic standards. Automated blood culturing systems have been in use for nearly three decades. These systems offer speedy detection and improved recovery of microorganisms in the bloodstream, more consistency, and cost-effectiveness. The practice and literature on the parameters of blood cultures and performance of the automated systems are reviewed in this chapter.
