Rapid diagnosis can reduce the time from empiric antimicrobial therapy to targeted therapy and improve patient outcomes.METHODOLOGY: The fully automated Unyvero Blood Culture (BCU) Application (Curetis GmbH) can identify a broad panel of pathogens (36 analytes covering over 50 pathogens) and 16 antibiotic resistance gene markers simultaneously in about 5 h. The assay was evaluated in three clinical laboratories in comparison to routine microbiological procedures.RESULTS: A total of 207 blood cultures were included in the study, and 90.5 % of the species identified by culture were covered by the Unyvero BCU panel with an overall sensitivity of 96.8 % and specificity of 99.8 %.
