Evolving Blood Culture Techniques for the Separation of Blood Pathogens at Clinical Microbiology Laboratories

Alekhya Tulugu

Bloodstream infections (BSIs) are substantial cause of morbidity and mortality in patients. Around 20 million cases of severe sepsis rise each year globally. Firm and precise identification of the etiologic pathogen is vital to be able to initiate pathogen specific antibiotic therapy and reduce mortality rates, and for reducing length of hospital prices. These identification methods are applied on several emerging blood culture procedures. This review presented the currently available technologies and different approaches of predictable laboratory diagnostic steps for blood stream infection. Based on their ability these techniques can be physical, semi-automated or wholly automated. Making an allowance for the importance of blood cultures in diagnosis and organization of bloodstream infections, it is judicious and relevant to understand the principles, technical requirements and limitations of these technologies. At the present time, there are numerous evolving blood culture techniques for the diagnosis of blood stream infections and drug vulnerability testing. These systems depend on several detection principles and cultural environments to identify microbes.
