[Basic procedure for blood cultures (author's transl)].
The Author summarizes the basic routine procedure for blood cultures first examining different factors that can influence it (blood coagulation, antimicrobial agents, natural bacterial inhibitors of blood cell wall deficient bacteria) and then describing culture media, atmospheric conditions, incubation time, and modalities for inspection, staining of cultures and subcultures. Finally new rapid automated methods are briefly pointed out.
