| Abstract | A biphasic blood culture bottle (BiPB: GIBCO Laboratories, North Andover, Mass.) with an architectural design that physically separates the agar slant from the broth was compared with a conventional vented monophasic bottle (MPB-A) for use in the routine culture of blood. Both bottles contained tryptic soy broth. Tryptic soy agar was used for the BiPB slant. A third unvented bottle (MPB-N) with Columbia broth was included as part of the blood culture set. Of 3,537 sets collected, 444 were positive; 57 of these 444 sets were positive by virtue of an exclusively positive anaerobic bottle. Both BiPB and MPB-A were positive in 235 of the remaining 387 positive sets. A total of 521 isolates was recovered during the study. Of these isolates, 252 were recovered in both the BiPB and the MPB-A from the same set; 105 isolates grew in the BIPB but not in MPB-A, 95 isolates grew only in the MPB-A but not in BiPB, and 69 grew exclusively in the MPB-N. The BiPB allowed more rapid recovery of Candida spp., J-K diphtheroids, Pseudomonas spp. Making BiPB subcultures was easy enough to permit both early and daily subculture, which provided isolated colonies sooner than could be done by using the MPB-A. Isolated colonies and, therefore, identification and susceptibility results were available at least 1 day earlier for the BiPB isolates in approximately 50% of instances when both the BiPB and the MPB-A were positive. Staphylococcus epidermidis and streptococci were recovered more frequently in the BiPB, while gram-positive anaerobes were detected at a significantly (P less than 0.025) more frequent rate in the MPB-A than in the BiPB. Either bottle, however, should be used in conjunction with an anaerobic bottle for optimal recovery of anaerobic bacteria. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
