Abstract
The rates of recovery of bacteria from vented vacuum blood culture bottles containing 50 and 100 ml of a soybean-casein digest broth were compared. More isolates were recovered from the larger bottle; gram-negative bacilli and especially Pseudomonas aeruginosa were recovered significantly more frequently (P < 0.01) from the 100-ml bottle.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
