Both methods showed significant agreement with the results obtained by blood culture. The results of these studies suggest that both the LightCycler SeptiFast and Prove-it Sepsis tests can be used for the rapid and specific diagnosis of bacteraemia and bloodstream infections. It is important, ...
Culture-negative endocarditis is important as it has a relatively poor prognosis. The principal reason for negative cultures is prior antibiotic therapy although fastidious organisms such as Bartonella spp. and Coxiella burnetii are also important. PCR may offer significant advantages in diagnosis but te...
