Analytical and Clinical Evaluation of a Fully Automated Direct-from-Whole-Blood Multiplex PCR Assay Using Large-Volume Reverse Elution for Rapid Bloodstream Infection Diagnosis
Background/Objectives: Prompt identification of bloodborne pathogens and their antimicrobial resistance is critical for effective sepsis management. Direct molecular testing of blood offers faster results than blood culture; however, its clinical utility has been limited by suboptimal sensitivity and procedural complex...
