Evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of rapid molecular tests for detecting antimicrobial resistance in bloodstream infections.
Systematic review of studies from PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase.
Included studies assessed rapid molecular tests using positive blood cultures or whole blood.
Data extracted on assay characteristics, resistance targets, diagnostic outcomes, and turnaround time.
Nine studies involved 2,439 samples assessing various rapid molecular test platforms.
BCID2 demonstrated high sensitivity (98.9%) and specificity (99.6%) for organism targets.
T2Resistance achieved 100% sensitivity for several genes and reduced detection time compared to conventional methods.
