Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate the performance of the BCID2 FilmArray panel in relation to blood culture. 162 positive blood cultures were subjected to both classical microbiology methods and the FilmArray nested multiplex PCR. The BCID2 panel showed 96.7% sensitivity, 99% specificity and 99% accuracy.
