Blood cultures. Bottles of blood culture media in a Bactec machine. The machine provides conditions necessary for culturing blood while screening for bacteria, yeast and fungi that may be present. The Bactec machine is a semi-automated system for performing such analyses. It is used in hospital microbiology laboratories to screen a patient's blood to help doctors to diagnose the cause of illness.
