  • Title: Assessment of impact of peptide nucleic acid fluorescence in situ hybridization for rapid identification of coagulase-negative staphylococci in the absence of antimicrobial stewardship intervention.
    Author: Holtzman C, Whitney D, Barlam T, Miller NS.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2011 Apr; 49(4):1581-2. PubMed ID: 21270213.
    Abstract:
    Peptide nucleic acid fluorescence in situ hybridization (PNA FISH) was instituted at Boston Medical Center for the rapid identification of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS). Without active notification or antimicrobial stewardship intervention, a pre- and postimpact analysis showed no benefit of this assay with respect to the length of hospital stay or vancomycin use.
