Importance: Initiating effective therapy early is associated with improved survival among patients hospitalized with gram-negative bloodstream infections; furthermore, providing early phenotype-desirable antimicrobial therapy (PDAT; defined as receipt of a β-lactam antibiotic with the narrowest spectrum of activity to effectively treat the pathogen's phenotype) is crucial for antimicrobial stewardship. However, the timing of targeted therapy among patients hospitalized with gram-negative bloodstream infections is not well understood.
Objective: To compare the clinical outcomes between patients who were hospitalized with Enterobacterales bloodstream infections receiving early vs delayed PDAT.
