Enhanced detection of polymicrobic bacteremia by repeat subculture of previously positive blood cultures.

S L Hansen, J Hetmanski.   

Abstract

Blood subcultures repeated 3 days after the cultures were first identified as positives increased our detection of polymicrobic bacteremia in 9.1 to 27% of clinically significant patient episodes. Reincubation and repeated subculture of previously positive blood cultures had a direct impact on the therapeutic management of patients with polymicrobic bacteremia.
