What is the correct methodology for performing a hemoculture exam?
The first step is to take a sample of the patient's blood and leave it in the oven for 24 hours. After 24 hours, the sample is taken and the first seeding is done in exhaustion in chocolate agar, blood agar, or MacConkey agar. The seeding is done with a platinum loop. If the results of the subcultures are positive, the microorganism is identified, an antibiogram is performed, and the result is released. If the result is negative, a second subculture is performed with 48 hours of incubation. If the second subculture is positive, an antibiogram is performed. If the second subculture is negative, the broth is returned to the oven and allowed to complete 7 days. On the seventh day, a third subculture is performed. If the third subculture is positive, an antibiogram is performed. If the third subculture is negative, the negative result is released. a) Statements A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, and J are correct. b) Statements A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I are correct. c) Statements A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and J are correct. d) Statements A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and I are correct.
