Two milliliters of venous blood sample taken from patients was inoculated into 20 ml brain-heart infusion broth (BHI) (CM1135; Oxoid Ltd., England, UK). The culture bottles were incubated at 37 °C for 7 days and examined daily for evidence of bacterial growth, including turbidity and hemolysis. If bacterial growth was observed, a subculture was made after 24 h on blood agar (CM0271, Oxoid Ltd., England UK), Salmonella Shigella agar (SS) (CM0099, Oxoid Ltd., England, UK), and MacConkey agar (CM0007, Oxoid Ltd., England, UK).
