  • Title: Performance of the Verigene Gram-positive blood culture assay for direct detection of Gram-positive organisms and resistance markers in a pediatric hospital.
    Author: Mestas J, Polanco CM, Felsenstein S, Dien Bard J.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2014 Jan; 52(1):283-7. PubMed ID: 24131696.
    Abstract:
    The performance characteristics of the Verigene Gram-positive blood culture (BC-GP) assay were evaluated in pediatric patients. Concordance of the BC-GP assay was 95.8%, with significant decreases in turnaround time for identification and resistance detection. BC-GP is highly accurate and can be integrated into the routine workflow of the microbiology laboratory.
