A multiphasic approach to solve misidentification of Cutibacterium acnes as Atopobium vaginae during routine bacterial screening of platelet concentrates using the VITEK 2 system
2023-04-12
Abstract excerpt
Skin flora bacteria, such as Cutibacterium acnes, are the predominant contaminants of blood products used for transfusion. Platelet concentrates (PCs), a therapeutic product used to treat patients with platelet deficiencies, are stored at ambient temperature under agitation, providing ideal conditions for bacterial proliferation. PCs are screened for microbial contamination using the automated BACT/ALERT culture s...
