Resumen:
Our study evaluates the effectiveness of the FilmArray Blood Culture Identification Panel 2 in a rapid bacteremia diagnostic system, using bacteriological culture as a reference. A total of 2042 positive blood cultures were analyzed, the FilmArray was performed for 175. Concordance was higher in monomicrobial bacteremia (95%) than in polymicrobial bacteremia's (72.2%). For detecting bacterial resistance mechanisms, concordance was very high (100% for Gram-positive bacteria and 98.12% for Gram-negative). This methodology provides significant improvements in response time and is especially useful for the detection of monomicrobial bacteremia.
