Candidemia was simulated with 15 Candida spp. by using an automated blood culture system. Candida growth was detected in 479/648 (74%) bottles: 211/216 (98%) aerobic bottles, 58/216 (27%) anaerobic bottles, and 210/216 (97%) mycology bottles. Only the growth of Candida lipolytica failed to be detected in all media.
