Blood culture time-to-positivity can identify S aureus, but not Enterococcal or Streptococcal endocarditis.

2025-09-05

Abstract excerpt

Background International guidelines for S aureus bacteraemia often recommend screening echocardiography irrespective clinical factors that influence the likelihood of endocarditis, but this is not the case for enterococci or streptoccoci that are also high risk organism. Time to blood culture positivity (TTP) reflects bacterial load and has the potential to identify patients at higher risk of endocarditis. Method...
