AI Article Synopsis
- The study used gas chromatography to analyze the volatile fatty acid profiles in 375 blood cultures, both positive and negative for microbes.
- Aerobic bacteria showed lower levels of fatty acids, with some profiles not detectable, while anaerobic bacteria produced higher amounts of acids and clearer profiles.
- This method allows for quick confirmation of microbiological results and helps identify blood cultures with anaerobic bacteria in just 30 minutes.
Article Abstract
The volatile fatty acid profiles were determined by a simple gas chromatographic method in 375 microbiologically positive and negative blood cultures. Aerobic bacteria yielded profiles with low content of acids, some of which were chromatographically negative. Anaerobic bacteria produced more acids and more distinctive profiles. The method makes it possible to confirm the microbiological findings and to select the blood cultures containing anaerobic bacteria within 30 minutes.
