Rapid Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing Using Direct Centrifugation Significantly Reduces Turnaround Time While Maintaining High Diagnostic Accuracy in Bloodstream Infections
Background/Objectives: Bloodstream infection-associated sepsis and septic shock remain major causes of in-hospital mortality. Because conventional antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) requires 48–72 h, earlier susceptibility results may facilitate timely antimicrobial optimization. This study evaluated the perfor...
