The microbiology of sepsis is more than the application of new technologies in diagnosis

Rev Esp Quimioter. 2023 Nov;36 Suppl 1:5-8. doi: 10.37201/req/s01.02.2023. Epub 2023 Nov 24.ABSTRACTAdequate and rapid microbiological diagnosis of sepsis is essential for correct treatment, having a direct impact on patient prognosis. Clinical Microbiology Services must adapt fast circuits that allow prioritizing and individualizing the diagnosis of these patients. The measures adopted should not be based solely on the incorporation of new technologies but, to a large extent, on ensuring accurately collection and processing of samples, avoiding unnecessary losses of time in processing and ensuring that the information derived from this process adequately reaches the prescribing physician.PMID:37997862 | DOI:10.37201/req/s01.02.2023
