Abstract
ABSTRACT
Simulated candidemia was produced with 20
Candida
isolates at three inoculum sizes (100, 10, and 1 CFU/ml of blood). Growth detection was better with larger inocula. The time to growth detection was shorter with larger inocula. Inoculum size does effect
Candida
growth detection and time to detection in BACTEC 9240 automated systems.
