Abstract
This project includes the present project to improve the analytical process of the emocultures, conducted in the UOC of Microbiology and Virology of the University Hospital of Padua, in order to verify the possibility of reducing the TAT of blood cultures carried out following the clinical suspicion of sepsis, using a new automated BacT / ALERT® VIRTUO ™ (Biomerieux) microbial detection system compared to the traditional BacT / ALERT® 3D (Biomerieux) method, which in addition to demonstrating greater functionality in the preanalytic phase, should above all highlight the ability to identify more quickly the
pathogens of the blood infections.
