Abstract
Objective To evaluate the clinical application of BacT/ALERT 3D automated blood culture system in traumatic endophthalmitis.Methods A total of 113 vitreous specimens of traumatic endophthalmitis were collected by BacT/ALERT PF pediatric blood culture bottle,detected by BacT/ALERT 3D automated blood culture system and analysed by Vitek-2 compact.We evaluated the positive rate,time to show positive,the types of microorganisms.Results In a total of 113 cultured vitreous specimens,81 cases were positive.Positive rate was 71.7％.Grampositive microorganisms accounted for 62.9％ of the positive culture results.Gramnegative microorganisms accounted for 34.6％ and fungi accounted for 2.5％.The shortest time to show positive was 4h.Conclusion The automated blood culture system has been widely used in blood and body fluid culture.The application of the automated blood culture for endophthalmitis can raise the positive detection rate,reduce the detection time to show positive and increase the types of microorganisms detected. Key words: Endophthalmitis; Microorganisms; Positive rate; Automated blood culture system
