Impact of Rapid Identification and Stewardship Intervention on Coagulase-Negative Staphylococcus Bloodstream Infection

We investigated the impact of rapid diagnostic testing with and without algorithm-based stewardship recommendations on antibiotic use for bloodstream infection with coagulase-negative staphylococci. A significant reduction in antibiotic days of therapy was achieved in the stewardship intervention gr...

Sumario:We investigated the impact of rapid diagnostic testing with and without algorithm-based stewardship recommendations on antibiotic use for bloodstream infection with coagulase-negative staphylococci. A significant reduction in antibiotic days of therapy was achieved in the stewardship intervention group that was not seen with rapid diagnostic testing alone.
