RESUMO
The sensitivity of the BACTEC NR660 blood culture system was assessed by using paired bottles of anaerobic (NR7A) and resin-containing aerobic (NR16A) media and conditions and organisms which simulated those found in pediatric practice. Corresponding media (7D and 16B) of the established BACTEC 460 radiometric method served as controls. The performances of the two systems were similar with 50 isolates of 10 aerobic organisms (aerobic medium) and with 21 isolates of 15 strict anaerobes (anaerobic medium).
