Direct MALDI-TOF MS and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing of Positive Blood Cultures Using the FAST<sup>TM</sup> System and FAST-PBC Prep Cartridges—Performance Evaluation in a Clinical Microbiology Laboratory Serving High-Risk Patients

Direct MALDI-TOF MS and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing of Positive Blood Cultures Using the FAST<sup>TM</sup> System and FAST-PBC Prep Cartridges—Performance Evaluation in a Clinical Microbiology Laboratory Serving High-Risk Patients

Bloodstream infections are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. The rapid diagnostic testing of positive blood cultures (PBCs) shortens times to effective therapy and the de-escalation of broad-spectrum empiric therapy. This is the first study examining the Qvella FAST<sup>TM</sup>...
