Opportunity for early de-escalation of antibiotics in Enterobacterales bacteremia with multiplex PCR rapid diagnostic technology

Gram-negative bacteremia and antimicrobial resistance cause significant morbidity and mortality. Strategies are needed to optimize rapid and effective antimicrobial therapy with early de-escalation. In this brief, we describe the utilization of multiplex polymerase chain reaction rapid diagnostic te...

description Gram-negative bacteremia and antimicrobial resistance cause significant morbidity and mortality. Strategies are needed to optimize rapid and effective antimicrobial therapy with early de-escalation. In this brief, we describe the utilization of multiplex polymerase chain reaction rapid diagnostic technology for the early de-escalation of broad-spectrum antimicrobials in patients with Enterobacterales bacteremia.
