Article Title: Comparing the Clinical Utility of Rapid Diagnostics for Treatment of Bloodstream Infections Using Desirability of Outcome Ranking Approach for the Management of Antibiotic Therapy (DOOR-MAT)

doi: 10.1128/AAC.00441-21

Figure Lengend Snippet: Clinical isolates by final susceptibility phenotype profile among Gram-negative and Gram-positive organisms by treatment based on results of ePlex BCID panels versus Verigene BC. Comparison of theoretical antibiotic management decisions based on GenMark ePlex BCID RUO or Vergine BC results by final organism susceptibility profile. NA, no routine susceptibility testing (e.g., coagulase-negative Staphylococcus ) or uncommon profile (e.g., Stenotrophomonas maltophilia ).

Article Snippet: Although the GenMark ePlex BCID demonstrated statistically higher mean DOOR-MAT scores than Verigene BC, both the immediate impact on an individual patient’s clinical outcome and the long-term impact on antimicrobial resistance is unknown.
