Abstract:The use of molecular identification panels has advanced the diagnosis for blood stream infections with fast turnaround time and high accuracy. Yet, this technology cannot completely replace conventional blood culture and standardized antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) given its limitations and occasional false results. Here we present two cases of bacteremia caused by
Kluyvera
. Its identification and antibiotic resistance were at least partially mispresented by blood culture m… Show more
