Figure 1From: Identification of pathogens from blood culture bottles in spiked and clinical samples using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass-spectrometry analysisComparison of pathogen numbers depending upon incubation time after time to positivity. Number of colony forming units of micro organisms immediately and 16 hours after positive reporting of the blood culture bottle automate (ttp = time to positivity).Back to article page
