Blood was cultured in two vacuum bottles containing Columbia broth. Filtered air was admitted to one bottle (aerobic); the unvented bottle was considered anaerobic. Cultures were incubated at 35 C until growth occurred or for at least 7 days. Of 744 organisms isolated, 50% were isolated from...

A total of 60 (14%) isolates would not have been detected if only five ml of blood had been cultured. Only minor differences in the isolation rates of different bacterial and fungal species from the vented and unvented bottles were found. The results indicate that aerobic incubation of ...

Because these organisms are part of the normal skin flora, they are common laboratory contaminants or may grow in blood cultures from skin contamination.Prop. acnescan cause bacteremia, especially in...
Randomized prospective studies have shown that the first five of these groups are effective in the therapy of intra-abdominal mixed infections. Preliminary data indicate that imipenem/cilastatin is very effective in the therapy of this serious infection; however its place in the therapeutic ...

Since these fibers are adapted to anaerobic metabolism (the slow-twitch fibers are adapted to aerobic metabolism), they contain few mitochondria. Red Blood Cells The lack of mitochondria in red blood cells (RBCs) prevents oxidative phosphorylation as a source of ATP. Thus, there is total ...
