Predictive Value of Direct Disk Diffusion Testing from Positive Blood Cultures in a Children’s Hospital and Its Utility in Antimicrobial Stewardship
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Journal of Clinical Microbiology"
DOI: 10.1128/jcm.02445-20
Abstract: Accurate and early susceptibility results could reduce overuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics for empirical treatment of bacteremia. Direct disk diffusion testing (dDD) using nonstandardized inocula directly from blood cultures could facilitate earlier narrowing of antibiotics. ABSTRACT… read more here.
