Bloodstream infections (BSI) are one of the most common challenges in critical care and a leading cause of illness and death in the United States. Diagnosing blood stream infections can prove a difficult task for clinicians working in clinical laboratory and research facilities. Blood culture testing is an important method for detecting microorganisms producing blood stream infections. Blood culture systems are used to detect the presence of bacteremia or fungemia in blood samples and to determine the best course of treatment.
Generally, it may be necessary to conduct a series of blood cultures to detect a bacterial blood infection and to confirm the final results. The presence of an infection in the blood can be serious because they can spread through the blood stream to any part of the body. The physician recommends a blood culture is recommended when immediate signs and symptoms indicate sepsis signifying that fungi, bacteria or their toxic by-products are causing harm in the body.

Patients suspected of having sepsis must be treated immediately as this can be life threatening for people with weakened immune system. If two or more blood tests are positive for the same bacteria or fungi, it means that the person tested likely suffers an infection.
The results may specifically identify the type of bacteria or fungi causing the disease. In order to provide accurate and precise test results, laboratories need to equip themselves with the right kind of blood culture systems. Leading manufacturers offers a range of systems integrated with innovative features to find microbial growth in blood samples.
