Abstract
Rapid diagnostic testing to identify bloodstream pathogens has arisen as an important tool both to ensure adequate antimicrobial therapy is given early and to aid in antimicrobial stewardship by allowing for more rapid deescalation of inappropriate antimicrobial therapy. However, there is a paucity of data regarding the significance of isolates that are not able to be identified by rapid diagnostic testing.
