  • Title: Unanticipated Multiplex PCR-Based Identification of Polymicrobial Blood Culture Resulting in Earlier Isolation, Determination of Susceptibilities, and Optimization of Clinical Care.
    Author: Timbrook T, Boger MS, Steed LL, Hurst JM.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2015 Jul; 53(7):2371-3. PubMed ID: 25878349.
    Abstract:
    We describe a case of polymicrobial bloodstream infection with six organisms identified by multiplex PCR that was initially thought to be a monomicrobial infection. Early recognition of specific Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and fungal organisms and resistance elements allowed significantly more rapid optimization of therapy.
