RESUMO
A commercially available lysis-centrifugation system was compared with a conventional biphasic brain heart infusion medium in a prospective clinical study of 5,125 fungal blood cultures. Recovery rates were compared between two time periods to assess the effect of 25 degrees C storage before processing by the lysis-centrifugation system. The lysis-centrifugation tubes processed within 9 h showed a significantly higher yield (3.4 versus 1.49%) for yeasts (Candida glabrata), filamentous fungi (Histoplasma capsulatum), and bacteria (8.84 versus 7.34%) (Klebsiella pneumoniae and Serratia marcescens) than did those processed after 9 h.
