A 5-year study of the performance of the Verigene Gram-positive blood culture panel in a pediatric hospital

They recognized a total of 1636 blood culture bottles positive for a Gram-positive organism that were tested on the BC-GP panel within 5 years. As per outcomes, the BC-GP panel exhibited excellent performance, and in the absence of mecA and vanA/B gene, clinicians can confidently de-escalate antimicrobial therapy.
