DOI: 10.1093/jpids/piac084
Abstract: Blood cultures are the gold standard for detecting bacteremia. We have studied the time to positivity of blood cultures in our neonatal unit to reduce antibiotic doses in patients with a negative blood culture. Empirical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ejh.13001
Abstract: Blood cultures (BCs) are essential in the evaluation of neutropenic fever. Modern BC systems have significantly reduced the time‐to‐positivity (TTP) of BC. This study explores the probability of bacteraemia when BCs have remained negative for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12879-020-05257-3
Abstract: Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is a major Gram-negative pathogen, which has been reported to result in high mortality. We aim to investigate the prognostic value and optimum cut-off point of time-to-positivity (TTP) of blood culture… read more here.
