Blood and bone marrow bacterial culture

Blood and bone marrow bacterial culture refers to the detection of microorganisms in the blood of patients with bacteremia and fungalemia. Most bacteremia is intermittent and requires multiple cultures to confirm. When the local infection of the human body spreads to the whole body and a systemic infection occurs, bacteria may appear in the blood and bone marrow, that is, bacteremia, toxemia, or sepsis. Clinically, when patients have fever, infected blood signs and symptoms, blood and bone marrow bacterial culture can be performed. Blood and bone marrow bacterial culture are commonly used in traditional broth enrichment and automatic blood culture instrument detection methods.
