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...
