Article Synopsis
- The study focused on improving the rapid identification of bacteria from positive blood cultures to help doctors provide timely treatment for bacteraemia using two methods: the MALDI Sepsityper kit and an in-house saponin lysis method.
- Among 107 monobacterial cultures, the identification rates were 67% for the Sepsityper kit and 66% for the saponin method, with better results for Gram-negative bacteria (82.5% and 90%, respectively) compared to Gram-positive bacteria (58% and 52%).
- While there were no misidentifications compared to traditional methods, success in identifying species from polymicrobial cultures was limited, with only one correct identification achieved regardless
