Optimization in the detection of bacteremia: Integrated use of FilmArray (BCID2) and MALDI-TOF

The usefulness of the combined use of MALDI-TOF MS from a subculture with 3-5h of incubation and the BCID2 panel (FilmArray) for the identification of microorganisms from positive blood cultures and its importance in the adjustment of antimicrobial therapy was analyzed. Overall identification with B...

Description
Summary:The usefulness of the combined use of MALDI-TOF MS from a subculture with 3-5h of incubation and the BCID2 panel (FilmArray) for the identification of microorganisms from positive blood cultures and its importance in the adjustment of antimicrobial therapy was analyzed. Overall identification with BCID2 was 90.4% (142/157) and with Maldi-TOF MS 83.4% (131/157) (p=0.0858); in 23 polymicrobial episodes (47 strains), the BCID2 panel identified 45 (95.7%) and MALDI-TOF MS 24 (51.1%) (p
