Impact of an Antimicrobial Stewardship Program Intervention Associated with the Rapid Identification of Microorganisms by MALDI-TOF and Detection of Resistance Genes in ICU Patients with Gram-Negative Bacteremia

Impact of an Antimicrobial Stewardship Program Intervention Associated with the Rapid Identification of Microorganisms by MALDI-TOF and Detection of Resistance Genes in ICU Patients with Gram-Negative Bacteremia

Combination of strategies for rapid diagnostics tests (RDT) with real-time intervention could improve patient outcomes. We aimed to assess the impact on clinical outcomes, antimicrobial consumption, and costs in patients with gram-negative bacteremia. We designed a quasi-experimental study among 216...
