Prospective Evaluation of Accelerate Pheno™ System (AXDX) Version 1.1 for Reducing Turn-Around-Time (TAT) in Identification/Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (ID/AST) of Gram-Negative Bacilli (GNB) from Positive Blood Cultures (+BC) using AXDX PhenoTest™ BC Kits

摘要

BackgroundThis study evaluated AXDX (uses FISH/real-time microscopy to obtain ID/AST direct from +BC in <7h) for accuracy against reference mass spectrometry (MS, VITEK^® MS, bioMérieux) and broth microdilution (BMD), respectively. AXDX TAT was timed against current reporting for ID using MS and VITEK^®2 (VT2, bioMérieux) for AST (VT2 data not presented).
