INTRODUCTION: The role of blood cultures (BCs) in the management of community acquired pneumonia (CAP) has generated a lot of controversy among clinicians in recent times. The main objectives of this audit were to determine if BC results impact the choice of antibiotics, and hospital outcomes ...
Recent studies have demonstrated that mNGS has a higher positive identification rate than blood cultures for identifying bacteria in suspected and confirmed cases of sepsis [13,14,15]. Whether the pathogen is a virus or bacteria that was not detected by blood culture due to a low load, this ...
Clotting factor concentrates come from two sources, either human plasma donations or production via recombinant methods from cell cultures. Currently produced human plasma-derived factor concentrates start with a pool of screened donor plasma that is processed to a combination of factor VIII and vWF ca...
textabstractThe aim of this prospective randomized controlled clinical trial was to assess the impact of immediate incubation of blood cultures delivered to the laboratory outside its hours of operation on turnaround times, antibiotic prescription practices, and patient outcomes. A continuously monitoring...
Positive blood cultures (group 2) showed a variety of pathogens, including aerobic gram-negative pathogens, aerobic gram-positive pathogens and fungi. There was no difference in ICU mortality between the two groups (26.3% non-infected patients vs. 29.2% infected patients). Also the LOS was not...
First, the time to result for blood cultures typically ranges from 24 to more than 48 hours1,2. Typical AST requires an additional 16–24 hours of culture of the isolated pathogen3. Understanding that early antimicrobial therapy reduces mortality in bloodstream infections, patients are given ...
