Diagnosis and treatment of bloodstream infections (BSIs) and infective endocarditis (IE) remain a challenge to treating physicians. Determining the microorganisms responsible is of major importance. New microbiological methods have emerged in the diagnosis of these entities with blood cultures remaining as a cornerstone. Changing epidemiology of IE and its risk groups pose a challenge to their treatment. BSIs and IE both contribute to a major morbidity and mortality. Hence, optimal treatment of these entities is imperative. Study I evaluated the impact of new microbiological method, short incubation matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (si-MALDI-TOF), on the antimicrobial treatment of BSIs caused b...
