Excerpt

Bloodstream infections (BSI) are a major cause of death [1] and it is accepted that initiating an effective antimicrobial therapy in severe sepsis reduces mortality in a timely manner [2, 3]. In the era of increasing resistance, knowing pathogen and antibiotic susceptibility is critical for initiating appropriate antimicrobials [4, 5]. Unfortunately, microbial documentation of severe infections leading to BSI is still often overlooked and recognized too late for both technical and organisational reasons. …
