Effect of biofire blood culture identification 2 (BCID2) panel versus a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) rapid incubation protocol on time to optimal therapy in patients with positive blood cultures

Abstract Rapid diagnostic technology (RDT) is a valuable tool that can be used to optimize antimicrobial therapy for patients with bloodstream infections. Several technologies for rapid organism identification exist including matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectromet...
