摘要
We analyzed antimicrobial use in 509 episodes of clinically significant bloodstream infection to assess the impact that microbiology laboratory reporting had on antimicrobial management. Most therapy interventions occurred at the time of phlebotomy and after notification of Gram stain results by telephone. Release of antimicrobial susceptibility data had the least impact on antimicrobial management.
