Clinical Impact of Rapid Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing of Blood Culture Isolates

Doern, Gary V.
RESUMO
The results of a rapid, direct blood culture disk susceptibility test indicated that antimicrobial chemotherapy should be changed in 48 of 173 patients with bacteremia. In 32 patients (66.6%), the indicated change was made approximately 24 h sooner than if conventional, nonrapid susceptibility tests had been used to guide therapy.
