Blood culture diagnostics - a comparative and experimental study on the impact of delayed incubation
Minimizing incubation delays significantly reduces CTD and improves detection of fragile bacteria. These findings potentially have significant implications for clinical practice, emphasizing the importance of protocols that limit pre-analytical delays to optimize blood culture diagnostics.
