Abstract
The current EacT/Alert standard aerobic (VA) blood culture bottle was redes
igned and designated a nonvented aerobic (NVA) culture bottle; this bottle
does not require venting. A total of 3,873 sets of blood samples for cultur
e were obtained From adult patients with suspected bacteremia or fungemia.
The NVA bottle showed performance equivalent to that of the VA bottle for r
ecovery and speed of detection of microorganisms from blood without the nee
d for venting the bottle.
