Gram-negative bacteremia is an increasingly difficult condition to treat due to the emergence of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative organisms. Rapid diagnostics have been developed to help identify these organisms quickly along with other Gram-negative infections, enabling more timely treatment decisions. This webinar will explore a molecular option for this testing, how the rapid detection of Gram-negative organisms along with genotypic resistance can help guide therapy decisions, and strategies to promote successful implementation within your institution.
