Evaluates novel sepsis panels for improved pathogen identification in bloodstream infections, highlighting their potential benefits.

This research aims to evaluate the performance of new sepsis panels for rapidly identifying pathogens in bloodstream infections.
Analyzed residual positive blood culture samples from two hospitals.
Used Molecular Mouse (MM) Sepsis panels for Gram-negative and Gram-positive identification.
Compared results with a standard-of-care workflow involving subculture and mass spectrometry.
Achieved 89% overall identification agreement at the species level.
Obtained 99% agreement in detection of resistance determinants.
Identified 68 of 76 Gram-negative and 70 of 76 Gram-positive species successfully.

Chilleri et al. (2026) studied this question.
