Over 18,000 clinical specimens collected in Vacutainer tubes with sodium polyanethol sulfonate were inoculated into modified Columbia broth (MCB) with and without 10% sucrose. The effects of venting and shaking on recovery were studied. The volume of the blood had a definite effect on the recovery rate. When inoculum size was held constant, recovery of aerobic and facultative organisms was maximal in vented and shaken bottles; the presence of sucrose had no demonstrable effect, recovery of anaerobes was maximal using an unvented bottle incubated under stationary conditions; a significantly greater recovery of facultatives and a marginally greater recovery of anaerobes was obtained with the hypertonic formulation. We conclude that a hypertonic formulation of MCB offers no advantage in the recovery of anaerobes but is of value in the recovery of facultatives and anaerobes. It is recommended that blood cultures be routinely inoculated into isotonic MCB and then vented and shaken for at least 4 hours, and hypertonic MCB incubated without venting or shaking.
