Rapid Identification and Susceptibility Testing of Pathogens Growing in Blood Culture Bottles - A Quality Improvement Theragnostic Stewardship Project
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating FilmArray testing, Antimicrobial Stewardship, and 2 other interventions for Bacteremia and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 743 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Would rapid identification of bacteria and rapid detection of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) (using an FDA-cleared assay) in positive blood culture bottles improve patient care at Mayo Clinic Rochester (or just lead to increased cost)?
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
FilmArray Blood Culture Identification (BCID) Panel is a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) panel that identifies 19 types of bacteria, 5 types of fungi, and select antimicrobial-resistance genes.
Real time antimicrobial stewardship: an infectious diseases pharmacist or physician will provide patient-specific recommendations to modify antimicrobial therapy.
This test identifies the pathogen responsible for an infection.
Antibiotic susceptibility testing determines the susceptibility of a bacterial strain to a specific antibiotic or a panel of antibiotics. Antibiotic susceptibility testing determines the susceptibility of a bacterial strain to a specific antibiotic or a panel of antibiotics.
