Abstract
A retrospective review of 18,130 blood cultures performed with a BACTEC 225 indicated that terminal subculturing of bottles negative after 7 days of testing did not recover bacteria or fungi which affected patient care or the length of patient hospitalization.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
