The Need
- Bloodstream infections cause an estimated 250,000 deaths annually in North America and Europe combined1
- S. aureus and MRSA continue to be leading causes of bloodstream infections and are associated with increased length of stay and hospital costs2
- Current culture-based lab testing methods for gram-positive blood culture bottles require an additional 24–72 hours for determination of S. aureus or MRSA
- Early antimicrobial treatment can reduce bloodstream infection mortality2
