Rapid ID+AST pilot study highlighted at ECCMID 2020
The rapid diagnostic workflow provided same-shift results (9.5h) that were significantly faster than the standard workflow (53h). Interestingly, in 68% of the cases, rapid ID+AST results were available before blood cultures had turned positive.
This study highlights the potential of combining rapid ID+AST diagnostic technologies for reducing the time to targeted treatment initiation for sepsis patients.
