Impact of Implementation of BacT/Alert Virtuo on Blood Culture Time to Positivity in Sepsis Patients

Time to positivity (TTP) for blood culture bottles incubated in the BacT/Alert Virtuo instrument was compared to the BacT/Alert 3D. TTP was significantly shorter with the Virtuo (median 16.2 h) than 3D (median 21.1 h; P < 0.001). Switching from 3D to Virtuo significantly improved TTP in this mult...
