Official Title: Rapid Identification and Susceptibility Testing of Pathogens Growing in Blood Culture Bottles - A Quality Improvement Theragnostic Stewardship Project

Brief Summary: Would rapid identification of bacteria and rapid detection of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) (using an FDA-cleared assay) in positive blood culture bottles improve patient care at Mayo Clinic Rochester (or just lead to increased cost)?
