BacT/Alert (Organon Teknika Corp., Durham, N.C.) is an automated microbial detection system based on
the colorimetric detection of C02 produced by growing microorganisms. Results of an evaluation of the media,
sensor, detection system, and detection algorithm indicate that the system reliably grows and detects a wide
variety of bacteria and fungi. Results of a limited pilot clinical trial with a prototype research instrument
indicate that the system is comparable to the radiometric BACTEC 460 system in its ability to grow and detect
microorganisms in blood. On the basis of these initial findings, large-scale clinical trials comparing BacT/Alert
with other commercial microbial detection systems appear warranted
