BioFire FilmArray BCID2 versus VITEK-2 System in Determining Microbial Etiology and Antibiotic-Resistant Genes of Pathogens Recovered from Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infections

Abstract excerpt

Central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) is among the most serious hospital acquired infections. Therefore, the rapid detection of the causative microorganism is of crucial importance to allow for the appropriate antimicrobial therapy. In the present study, we analyzed the clinical performance of the BioFire FilmArray Blood Culture Identification 2 (BCID2) panel in the identification of 33 microbial...
