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.
