A Closer Look at the Laboratory Impact of Utilizing ePlex Blood Culture Identification Panels: a Workflow Analysis Using Rapid Molecular Detection for Positive Blood Cultures

ABSTRACT Rapid identification of pathogens is critical in bloodstream infections. We evaluated the diagnostic performance of the GenMark Dx ePlex blood culture identification (BCID) panels and the adoption of the ePlex system into the clinical laboratory workflow. Nonduplicate remnant specimens of p...
