Methods. The direct identification and the antibiotic susceptibility testing evaluated with disk diffusion directly from blood cultures provided excellent results in Gram-negative.
Results and Conclusions. Our study reveals the importance of direct methods that significantly reduce the turn around time and therefore has an impact on the successful outcome of patients suffering from bloodstream infections.
