Patients \u226516 years old with suspected bloodstream infections (BSIs) were enrolled in intensive care units and infectious disease wards. A single 40-ml blood sample was collected from each and used to inoculate (10 ml\/bottle) one set of BacT\/Alert Plus cultures and one set of Bactec Plus cultures, each set consisting of one aerobic and one anaerobic bottle. Cultures were incubated \u22645 days in the BacT\/Alert 3D and Bactec FX instruments, respectively. A total of 128 unique BSI episodes were identified based on the recovery of clinically significant growth in 212 aerobic cultures (106 BacT\/Alert and 106 Bactec) and 151 anaerobic cultures (82 BacT\/Alert and 69 Bactec). The BacT\/Alert aerobic medium had higher recovery rates for Gram-positive cocci (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>= 0.024), whereas the Bactec aerobic medium was superior for recovery of Gram-negative bacilli (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>= 0.006). BacT\/Alert anaerobic medium recovery rates exceeded those of the Bactec anaerobic medium for total organisms (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>= 0.003), Gram-positive cocci (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>= 0.013), and<jats:named-content content-type=\"genus-species\">Escherichia coli<\/jats:named-content>(<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>= 0.030). In terms of capacity for diagnosing the 128 septic episodes, the BacT\/Alert and Bactec sets were comparable, although the former sets diagnosed more BSIs caused by Gram-positive cocci (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>= 0.008). They also allowed earlier identification of coagulase-negative staphylococcal growth (mean, 2.8 h;<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>= 0.003) and growth in samples from patients not on antimicrobial therapy that yielded positive results (mean, 1.3 h;<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>&lt; 0.001). Similarly high percentages of microorganisms in BacT\/Alert and Bactec cultures (93.8% and 93.3%, respectively) were identified by direct matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization\u2013time of flight mass spectrometry assay of BC broths. The BacT\/Alert Plus media line appears to be a reliable, timesaving tool for routine detection of BSIs in the population we studied, although further studies are needed to evaluate their performance in other settings.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1128\/jcm.01171-14","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,7,17]],"date-time":"2014-07-17T04:46:18Z","timestamp":1405572378000},"page":"3558-3567","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":54,"title":["Performance of Two Resin-Containing Blood Culture Media in Detection of Bloodstream Infections and in Direct Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization\u2013Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) Broth Assays for Isolate Identification: Clinical Comparison of the BacT\/Alert Plus and Bactec Plus Systems"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"52","author":[{"given":"Barbara","family":"Fiori","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Microbiology, Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, Gemelli Hospital, Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tiziana","family":"D'Inzeo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Microbiology, Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, Gemelli Hospital, Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Viviana","family":"Di Florio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Microbiology, Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, Gemelli Hospital, Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Flavio","family":"De Maio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Microbiology, Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, Gemelli Hospital, Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giulia","family":"De Angelis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Microbiology, Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, Gemelli Hospital, Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alessia","family":"Giaquinto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Microbiology, Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, Gemelli Hospital, Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lara","family":"Campana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Infectious Diseases, Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, Gemelli Hospital, Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eloisa","family":"Tanzarella","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Anesthesiology and Intensive Care, Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, Gemelli Hospital, Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mario","family":"Tumbarello","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Infectious Diseases, Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, Gemelli Hospital, Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Massimo","family":"Antonelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Anesthesiology and Intensive Care, Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, Gemelli Hospital, Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maurizio","family":"Sanguinetti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Microbiology, Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, Gemelli Hospital, Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Teresa","family":"Spanu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Microbiology, Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, Gemelli Hospital, Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"235","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1469-0691.12195"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/AAC.01509-06"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ccc.2010.09.008"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1309\/AJCPVMDQU2ZJDPBL"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1128\/9781555816728","volume-title":"Manual of clinical microbiology","author":"Versalovic J","year":"2011","unstructured":"VersalovicJCarrollKCFunkeGJorgensenJHLandryMLWarnockDW (ed). 2011.
