Saving lives depends not just on treatments specific to a particular infection, but rather a focus on early Recognition/Diagnosis and Awareness of sepsis 

Features of Bactac Blood Culture over Conventional Methods:

  • Antibiotic neutralizing resin media, thereby Bactac Blood Culture reduces false positivity by 1.5% and false negativity by 0.3%
  • Can be performed even when patient is on antibiotic therapy
  • Offers improved sepsis detection rate by 34%
  • Specially useful for isolation of fastidious microorganisms, such as Brucella and S pneumoniae, especially from cerebrospinal and synovial fluid specimens 

Interpretation of Positive Blood Cultures:

Correct interpretation of the positive test result is crucial. Misinterpretation of positive results can be costly both to the  institution and to the patient. Results where (>90% of isolates) represents  true  infection  when  isolated from  the  blood  include Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and other Enterobacteriaceae, P. aeruginosa, S. pneumoniae, and Candida albicans. Isolates from blood that rarely «5% of isolates) represent true infection include Corynebacterium species, Bacillus species, and Propionibacterium acnes.

Facts about Sepsis:

  • 1 out of 4 patients in ICU develops sepsis
  • Sepsis is common and often deadly. It remains the primary cause of death from infection.
  •  More common than heart attack, and claims more lives than any cancer, yet even in the most developed countries fewer than half of the adult population have heard of it
  • Colloquially known as “blood poisoning”
