Retrospective evaluation of rapid genotypic ID and phenotypic AST systems on positive blood culture turnaround time and simulated potential impacts on bloodstream infection management.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Bloodstream infections are linked to heightened morbidity and mortality rates. The consequences of delayed antibiotic treatment can be detrimental. Effective management of bacteraemia hinges on rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing. OBJECTIVES: This retrospective study examined the influence of the VITEK® REVEAL™ Rapid AST system on positive blood culture (PBC) management in a French tertiary...
