Comparison of rapid hybridization-based pathogen identification and resistance evaluation in sepsis using the Verigene® device paired with “good old culture”

Summary Rapid microbial diagnostics is important for septicemic patients. The current gold standard is blood culture with consecutive pathogen identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. However, these culture-based methods need at least 48 h. The aim of this study was to compare Verige...
