摘要
Rapid diagnostic testing (RDT) allows for early adjustment of antibiotic therapy. This study examined the potential impact of a stewardship-driven antibiotic treatment algorithm, incorporating RDT into the management of Gram-negative bacteremia. The proposed algorithm would have resulted in 88.4% of cases receiving appropriate antibiotic therapy versus 78.1% by standard of care (P = .014).
