We assessed the antimicrobial-inactivation capability of BacT/Alert (FA Plus and FN Plus) or Bactec (Plus Aerobic/F and Plus Anaerobic/F) media for 40 antibiotic-bacterium combinations in simulated adult blood cultures. Aside from high recovery rates (93.2% and 88.4%, respectively), we showed that at the lowest but clinically relevant antibiotic concentrations, both BacT/Alert and Bactec media recovered all the organisms tested with drugs except for Escherichia coli, which was tested in the presence of meropenem. Delayed recoveries were mainly associated with vancomycin.

Abstract
We assessed the antimicrobial-inactivation capability of BacT/Alert (FA Plus and FN Plus) or Bactec (Plus Aerobic/F and Plus Anaerobic/F) media for 40 antibiotic-bacterium combinations in simulated adult blood cultures. Aside from high recovery rates (93.2% and 88.4%, respectively), we showed that at the lowest but clinically relevant antibiotic concentrations, both BacT/Alert and Bactec media recovered all the organisms tested with drugs except for Escherichia coli, which was tested in the presence of meropenem. Delayed recoveries were mainly associated with vancomycin.
