Evaluation of the Eazyplex ID LAMP Assay for the Rapid Diagnosis of Positive Blood Cultures.

Rapid molecular assays can be used to identify pathogens directly from positive blood cultures (BCs) in a timely manner compared to standard methods using subcultures. In this study, the eazyplex ID assay, which is based on loop-mediated amplification (LAMP) and is currently for research use only, was evaluated for the identification of the most common fungal species. A total of 190 BCs were analysed.
