Zusammenfassung:A system and method for automated testing a sample of a body fluid for the presence of bacteria is described. The system includes a fluid handling device, Incubator, flow cytometer, at least a processor, and a memory configuring the at least a processor to distribute a portion of the plurality of fluid samples within a well plate to at least a first well, divide the portion of the plurality of fluid samples from the at least a first well into at least two wells including a T0 well and a T1 well, obtain a T0 enumerative baseline bacterial value at time T0, culture the fluid samples in the T1 well using the incubator, obtain a T1 enumerative control bacterial value at time T1, and determine a presence of bacteria as a function of the T0 enumerative baseline bacterial value and the T1 enumerative control bacterial value.
