Alfredo Corell's insight:

Microbiological diagnoses based on laboratory testing directly affect patient care and outcomes, including hospital infection control, duration of hospitalization, and laboratory efficiency, according to new guidelines from the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) and the American Society for Microbiology.

The new recommendations, which address appropriate and accurate use of laboratory tests to diagnose infectious diseases (IDs), were published online July 10 in Clinical Infectious Diseases by Ellen Jo Baron, PhD, from the Department of Pathology, Stanford University School of Medicine, and Cepheid, R&D, Sunnyvale, California, and colleagues.
