Science & Technology

We evaluated the clinical performance of the FilmArray blood culture identification (BCID) panel in the identification of micro-organisms from positive blood culture bottles inoculated with sterile body fluids. All organisms included in the FA BCID panel were accurately identified in 84/84 (100%) and 18/24 (75%) samples with mono- and polymicrobial growth, respectively.
