Microbiological examination of blood cultures by automated system BACTEC
 VANIŠOVÁ, Petra
Objective: The aim of this work is to describe a presence of pathogenic microorganisms in bloodstream that could possibly threaten the health and life of a patient. Using an automated microbial detection system Bactec we have detected bacteria or yeast that partake on an extension of a sepsis in given area, we have also compared results with special literature. We have evaluated the percentage of contaminated samples trying to point out the importance of a correct material sampling and also the importance of the level of education of the medical staff. After comparing samples in the cell culture medium we have used control skin smears. We have also marked the period of time for which the cultivation occurred since it is an important factor in the restoration of a patient and lowers the cost of a prospective treatnent. The method: In contrast with the theoretical section of this this work, the practical part is focused on laboratory samples preparation and actual analysis, including identification of the microorganisms, using microscopic, cultivation and biochemical techniques. For the detection of infective agents in blood culture we have used automated microbial detection system BACTEC 9050 which uses fluorescent sensor for the registration of CO2 creation. Carbon dioxide reacts with water and creates acid. This chemical process is followed with the descrease of pH. The content of a positive aerobic vial is vactinated for the right cultivation broth. Microbial groth is then evaluated after 17 to 24 hours in thermostat, followed be antibiotics sensitivity tests and then the optimal treatment is determined. The result: We have colected 1643 samples, 1359 of which did not show any pathogenic species. The work deals with findings inside of 284 samples which the machine marked as positive. The most common was Escherichia coli. The second place in quatity was represented by Klebsiella pneumoniae. The majority of bacteria were gram-negative (72 %). Sample contamination occured in 4.7 % of all samples and was connected with sampling errors. The conclusion: There is an annual growth in bloodstream infections that are also connected with a high percentage of death possibility. Blood cultivation examination with a use of automated systems is crucial for quick and precise detection of microorganisms.
