Impact of MALDI-TOF implementation and antimicrobial stewardship programs on the optimization of antibiotic therapy in Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infections
The implementation of MALDI-TOF, in conjunction with a multidisciplinary ASP, enhances early adjustment of empirical antibiotic therapy and may be associated with reduced early mortality in S. aureus bacteremia. Incorporating rapid diagnostics, especially for MRSA detection, is a key strategy to improve clinical outcomes.
