Potential of Molecular Culture in Early Onset Neonatal Sepsis Diagnosis: A Proof of Principle Study

Delay in the time-to-positivity of a peripheral blood culture (PBC), the gold standard for early onset neonatal sepsis (EOS) diagnosis, has resulted in excessive use of antibiotics. In this study, we evaluate the potential of the rapid Molecular Culture (MC) assay for quick EOS diagnosis. In the fir...
