Less Haste, More Speed: Does delayed blood culture loading lead to adverse incubation time or yield?

2024-10-16

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Blood culture remains a vital diagnostic tool in the acutely unwell patient. The UK Standards for Microbiology Investigations (SMI) stipulate pre-analytical requirements that are aimed at increasing yield and reducing turnaround time. The requirement to load blood cultures onto incubators within 4 hours has shown to reduce turnaround time but limited evidence exists as to whether it improves yi...
