Abstract:

Objective To analyze the adsorption capacity of 4 kinds of blood culture bottles to imipenem,piperacillin-tazobactam,vancomycin and caspofungin,and to provide a reference for improving the determination rate of pathogens in blood culture. Methods Four antibiotics(imipenem,piperacillin-tazobactam,vancomycin and caspofungin) paired with sensitive and standard isolates were used,and blood culture was performed in 4 types of blood culture bottles(FA plus,FN plus,Aerobic and Anaerobic). The adsorption capacity of different blood culture bottles to 4 antibiotics was evaluated according to the positive situation and positive alarm time of blood culture bottles. Results Control bottles(without antibiotic adsorption measures) showed no positivity after 5 d culture. The positive alarm rates were 75.0%(15/20) on FA plus,100.0%(10/10) on FN plus,70.0%(14/20) on Aerobic and 0.0%(0/10) on Anaerobic. Only FN plus showed positivity in imipenem/Escherichia coli group,and the positive alarm time was (12.4±0.3)h. FA plus,Aerobic and Anaerobic showed no positivity for 5 d. In piperacillin-tazobactam/Pseudomonas aeruginosa group,FA plus and Aerobic showed positivity(5/5),and the positive alarm times were 16.2±0.3 and (18.1±0.4)h,respectively(P<0.05). FA plus,FN plus and Aerobic reported positivity in vancomycin/Staphylococcus aureus group,and the positive alarm times were 16.7±0.4,24.1±0.6 and (31.3±3.9)h,respectively(P<0.05),and Anaerobic showed no positivity for 5 d. FA plus and Aerobic reported positivity in caspofungin/Candida albicans group,and the positive alarm times were 47.1±3.3 and (42.9±2.0)h(P<0.05). Conclusions FN plus has the capacity to adsorb imipenem and vancomycin,while FA plus and Aerobic have the capacity to adsorb vancomycin,piperacillin-tazobactam and caspofungin. For patients who have used antibiotics before blood sample collection,it is not recommended to use blood culture bottles without antibiotic adsorption measures,and appropriate blood culture bottles should be selected according to clinical antibiotic use habits.
