摘要:
We compared the performance of the BacT/ALERT automated blood culture system with real-time, quantitative volatile organic compound (VOC) detection by selected ion flow tube-mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS). Blood samples from healthy donors were artificially infected with 5 or 100 CFU of organisms commonly causing bacteremia. Positive results by SIFT-MS analysis of headspace gases were recorded for 53/60 (88.3%) bottles at 8h, and 58/60 (96.6%) bottles at 24 h. We conclude that SIFT-MS is a sensitive method for the detection of microbial VOCs. Furthermore, profiles of the VOCs detected may allow simultaneous identification of infecting organisms.
