Evaluation of two commercially prepared biphasic media for recovery of fungi from blood

L M Caplan et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1978 Oct.

Abstract

Recovery of six yeast species from blood was comparable in commercially prepared brain heart infusion biphasic and Trypticase soy biphasic media. An increased recovery of 13% was noted when two bottles, each containing 5 ml of blood, were cultured, as compared to a 5-ml portion in a single culture bottle.
