Abstract
The rapid identification method, the Rapid Sepsityper protocol with a specific MBT-Sepsityper module (Bruker Daltonics), based on the MALDI Biotyper platform, accurately identified 93.5% (116/124) of microorganisms at the species level in the 124 flagged blood culture samples from patients with monomicrobial bloodstream infections. Gram-negative bacilli (95.6%, 43/45) had a higher identification rate than Gram-positive cocci (93.3%, 70/75) and yeasts (75%, 3/4). The Rapid Sepsityper protocol displayed poor identification performance for polymicrobial samples.
