DEVICE

FilmArray testing

FilmArray Blood Culture Identification (BCID) Panel is a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) panel that identifies 19 types of bacteria, 5 types of fungi, and select antimicrobial-resistance genes.

BEHAVIORAL

Antimicrobial Stewardship

Real time antimicrobial stewardship: an infectious diseases pharmacist or physician will provide patient-specific recommendations to modify antimicrobial therapy.

OTHER

Bacterial culture

This test identifies the pathogen responsible for an infection.

OTHER

Susceptibility testing

Antibiotic susceptibility testing determines the susceptibility of a bacterial strain to a specific antibiotic or a panel of antibiotics. Antibiotic susceptibility testing determines the susceptibility of a bacterial strain to a specific antibiotic or a panel of antibiotics.
