Snippet: The accuracy of BAC assay for the diagnosis of bloodstream infections was first evaluated on blood culture specimens [32] [33] [34] . Those studies demonstrated robustness of the technology in terms of accuracy of the identifications. However, with the introduction of MALDI-TOF instruments for the identification of pathogens from positive blood culture based on their protein/peptide profile, it became clear that PCR/ESI-MS would not be able to co.....
Document: The accuracy of BAC assay for the diagnosis of bloodstream infections was first evaluated on blood culture specimens [32] [33] [34] . Those studies demonstrated robustness of the technology in terms of accuracy of the identifications. However, with the introduction of MALDI-TOF instruments for the identification of pathogens from positive blood culture based on their protein/peptide profile, it became clear that PCR/ESI-MS would not be able to compete on either a time-to-result or cost-per-sample basis with MALDI-TOF [35] .
