Abstract

Rapid diagnostic technology (RDT) is a valuable tool that can be used to optimize antimicrobial therapy for patients with bloodstream infections. Several technologies for rapid organism identification exist including matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and the BioFire
