Impact of Real-time MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) Reporting (<6 Hours) on β-lactam Prescription in Cases of Gram-negative Bacilli Bacteremia in ICU Patients in Real-life Settings
Sponsor: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
Summary
Evaluate the impact of rapid, real-time (4 to 6 h) MIC reporting compared with the standard method (=diffusion antibiotic susceptibility testing) (18 to 24 h) on β-lactam prescribing in terms of the choice of molecule by the resuscitating clinician in the event of real-life Gram-negative Bacilli GNB bacteremia in the ICU.

Interventions
SPECIFIC REVEAL® Rapid AST system
The SPECIFIC REVEAL™ system uses biosensors capable of detecting volatile substances released by microorganisms during their growth. The detection of these volatile compounds by ultra-high-performance biosensors enables very early detection of bacterial growth compared with standard technologies based on visual systems (e.g. diffusion antibiogram or MICs determined by microdilution in liquid media) or optical density measurement systems (e.g. Vitek2)
