BacT/ALERT® FN Plus (color-coded orange) - BacT/ALERT FN Plus disposable culture bottles contain 40 mL of complex medium and 1.6 g adsorbent polymeric beads.This single-centre, prospective observational study was performed from May 2017 to November 2017. The objective of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of blood culture Gram staining along with the finding of an 'oozing sign' to diagnose either Staphylococcus aureus or coagulase-negative staphylococci.The BacT/ALERT Microbial Detection System utilizes a colorimetric sensor and reflected light to monitor the presence and production of carbon dioxide (CO2) dissolved in the culture medium. Therefore, early identification is important for the initiation of appropriate treatment. The bottle should be filled to within one to two inches from the top.Noting the requirement for multiple safety adapter components when collecting BacT/Alert blood culture bottles due to the bottle design not permitting the.Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia is a common and significant infection, associated with high rates of mortality. If the preservatives are not included in the bottle, rinse the bottle and cap three times with sample water, fill the bottle, and then carefully add the preservatives following the instructions provided by the laboratory. Bottle contains a preservative, do not rinse the bottle.
