Antimicrobial stewardship is essential for optimizing therapy in bloodstream infections. Methicillin-susceptible (MSSA) bacteremia requires prompt beta-lactam treatment, and delays in transitioning from empirical anti-MRSA therapy can result in adverse outcomes. Rapid diagnostics like the BioFire Blood Culture Identification (BCID) PCR panel, combined with stewardship interventions, significantly improve care by reducing unnecessary broad-spectrum antimicrobial use.

Institute of Computational Neuroscience, Center for Experimental Medicine, University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, Martinistraße 52, 20246, Hamburg, Germany.

Inferring and understanding the underlying connectivity structure of a system solely from the observed activity of its constituent components is a challenge in many areas of science. In neuroscience, techniques for estimating connectivity are paramount when attempting to understand the network structure of neural systems from their recorded activity patterns. To date, no universally accepted method exists for the inference of effective connectivity, which describes how the activity of a neural node mechanistically affects the activity of other nodes.
