How long does it take to get blood culture results?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Routine blood cultures are usually read at 24 and 48 hours and then again at 7 days and 14 days depending upon the organisms that are growing. Newer "blood culture" results using a variety of methods including dna testing or radioactive metabolite detection can often be read much sooner- in hours.
