Rapid Diagnostics for Gram-Negative Bloodstream Infections

Rapid diagnostics are critical to improving outcomes in bloodstream infections in a variety of ways. We already know from previous literature that having stewardship involved in rapid diagnostics improves patient outcomes. It can decrease length-of-stay, improve mortality. The thing is most of that data is driven by gram-positive bloodstream infections. We really don’t know our role for gram-negative bloodstream infections as much.
