Bacterial flora in blood samples collected during an autopsy for routine testing of ethanol concentration
Blood samples collected during autopsy for routine ethanol testing, preserved with sodium fluoride were subjected to the following microbiological tests: microscopic evaluation, cultures on differentiating proliferating media and identification of isolated strains. It was found that sodium fluoride did not entirely inhibit bacterial growth. The majority of the isolated bacteria were Gram-negative rods, with E. coli as the most frequent strains.
