We retrospectively screened patients with bloodstream infections who underwent BCID testing and compared them to a historical control group that received conventional culture testing. A total of 144 and 214 patients who underwent BCID and conventional cultures, respectively, were compared. The 30-day mortality (BCID: 9.7% vs. conventional method: 10.7%, p = 0.755), time to effective antibiotic administration (3 h for both BCID and conventional method, p = 0.789), and time to appropriate antibiotic administration did not differ significantly between the groups. BCID was not significantly associated with 30-day mortality after adjusting for the Pitt bacteremia score and the Charlson comorbidity index (adjusted OR = 0.833, CI; 0.398\u20131.743). Compared with conventional methods, BCID reduced the time to administration of effective antibiotics in cases of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) (39 h vs. 93 h, p = 0.012) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) (50 h vs. 92 h, p &lt; 0.001) bacteremia. BCID did not affect the clinical outcomes of overall bloodstream infections; however, it contributed to the early administration of effective antibiotics in cases of CRE and VRE bacteremia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics13233504","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,22]],"date-time":"2023-11-22T03:54:37Z","timestamp":1700625277000},"page":"3504","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["The Impact of the Rapid Blood Culture Identification Panel on Antibiotic Treatment and Clinical Outcomes in Bloodstream Infections, Particularly Those Associated with Multidrug-Resistant Micro-Organisms"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7475-4564","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ji-Yun","family":"Bae","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Ewha Womans University College of Medicine, Seoul 07985, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6348-9892","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jiyeon","family":"Bae","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Ewha Womans University College of Medicine, Seoul 07985, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9728-3008","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Min-Kyung","family":"So","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Laboratory Medicine, Ewha Womans University College of Medicine, Seoul 07985, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hee-Jung","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Ewha Womans University College of Medicine, Seoul 07985, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9140-3814","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Miae","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Laboratory Medicine, Ewha Womans University College of Medicine, Seoul 07985, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Department of Laboratory Medicine, Seegene Medical Foundation, Seoul 04805, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"5099","DOI":"10.1128\/AAC.00565-10","article-title":"National multicenter study of predictors and outcomes of bacteremia upon hospital admission caused by Enterobacteriaceae producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamases","volume":"54","author":"Marchaim","year":"2010","journal-title":"Antimicrob.
