Performance of t2bacteria in relationship to blood cultures – a retrospective comparative study

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: The aim of this study was to compare the performance of the T2Bacteria assay to BCs in a real-world setting. In absence of a reliable independent gold standard, adaptations of this approach have been used in several previous studies . During the study period, in total 843 T2 samples were considered for analysis. This study shows that the TAT for positive and negative T2 samples did not significantly differ, providing reassurance against this concern.
• Who: David Yu and collaborators from the Division of Clinical Microbiology, Department of Laboratory Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, , Stockholm, Hälsov . . .
