Susceptibility Provision Enhances Effective De-escalation (SPEED): utilizing rapid phenotypic susceptibility testing in Gram-negative bloodstream infections and its potential clinical impact.
In this study, the investigators evaluated the performance and time to result for pathogen identification (ID) and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) of the Accelerate Pheno system (AXDX) compared with standard of care (SOC) methods. They also assessed the hypothetical improvement in antibiotic utilization if AXDX had been implemented. The authors indicated that by providing fast and reliable ID and AST results, AXDX has the potential to improve antimicrobial utilization and enhance antimicrobial stewardship.
