Blood samples were collected for culture from pediatric patients who were hospitalized during 2010 at a university hospital. BACTEC Peds Plus and BacT/Alert PF bottles were placed in the BACTEC FX and BacT/Alert 3D blood culture system, respectively, and tested for 5 days. Bottles flagged by instruments as positive were removed from the instruments and the TTDs were recorded.
