摘要:
Rapid molecular blood culture Gram-positive (BC-GP) assay can promptly identify vancomycin-resistant enterococcal (VRE) bloodstream infections (BSIs). We sought to evaluate patients with VRE BSI following the pre (N = 44) and post (N = 20) implementation of Verigene BC-GP assay. The average time to detection of VRE was 25.9 +/- 4.1 h (95% confidence interval (Cl): 17.6-34.1; P < 0.001) earlier with Verigene BC-GP assay. Compared to patients in the pre-Verigene BC-GP period, the mean adjusted difference in time to administration of anti-VRE therapy was 18.2 +/- 7.8h (95% Cl: 2.5- 33.8; P = 0.024) earlier among patients in the post-Verigene BC-GP period. Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of The Healthcare Infection Society.
