Time-to-detection (TTD) in hours obtained from two blood cultures each of Candida albicans, Nakaseomyces glabratus (Candida glabrata), Candida parapsilosis, Meyerozyma guilliermondii (Candida guilliermondii), Pichia kudriavzevii (Candida krusei), and Candida tropicalis in BD BACTEC™ Plus Aerobic/F (Aero) or BD BACTEC™ Mycosis IC/F Lytic (Myco) bottles.
Abstract
Background

Early diagnosis of candidemia is critical for the correct management and treatment of patients.

Aims

To test the efficacy of different blood culture bottles in the growth of Candida strains.

Methods

We compared the performance of BD BACTEC™ Plus Aerobic/F (Aero) culture bottles with the specific BD BACTEC™ Mycosis IC/F Lytic (Myco) culture bottles using the BD BACTEC™ FX 40 automated blood culture system to determine the mean time-to-detection (TTD) in Candida species. One isolate each of six Candida species was inoculated into blood culture bottles (final concentration, 1–5CFUml−1) and incubated at 37°C until automated growth detection.

Results

Candida albicans and Nakaseomyces glabratus (Candida glabrata) were detected earlier in the specific culture bottle, whereas Candida tropicalis was detected earlier in the nonspecific bottle; Candida parapsilosis, Pichia kudriavzevii (Candida krusei), and Meyerozyma guilliermondii (Candida guilliermondii) presented similar TTD in both bottles.

Conclusions

Our study suggests the suitability of using both bottles in clinical laboratories for a faster diagnosis and prompt starting of any treatment.

Resumen
Antecedentes

El diagnóstico precoz de la candidemia es fundamental para el correcto manejo y tratamiento de los pacientes.

Objetivos

Comprobar la eficacia de diferentes frascos de hemocultivo en el crecimiento de cepas de Candida.

Métodos

Comparamos el rendimiento de los frascos de cultivo BD BACTEC™ Plus Aerobic/F (Aero) con los frascos de cultivo BD BACTEC™ Mycosis IC/F Lytic (Myco) específicos utilizando el sistema automatizado de hemocultivo BD BACTEC™ FX 40 para determinar la media de tiempo de detección (TTD) de especies de Candida. Se inoculó un aislamiento de cada una de seis especies de Candida en los frascos de hemocultivo (concentración final, 1-5CFUml−1) y se incubaron a 37°C hasta la detección automática del crecimiento.

Resultados

Candida albicans y Nakaseomyces glabratus (Candida glabrata) se detectaron antes en el frasco de cultivo específico, mientras que Candida tropicalis se detectó antes en el frasco no específico; Candida parapsilosis, Pichia kudriavzevii (Candida krusei) y Meyerozyma guilliermondii (Candida guilliermondii) presentaron TTD similares en ambas botellas.

Conclusiones

Nuestro estudio sugiere el uso simultáneo de ambos frascos en los laboratorios clínicos para un diagnóstico más rápido y un inicio inmediato del tratamiento.
