Evaluation of Immulex S. pneumoniae Omni test for the direct detection of S. pneumoniae from positive blood cultures. [PDF]

Heliyon, 2023
Rapid and early identification of Streptococcus pneumoniae from positive blood cultures is crucial for the management of patients with bloodstream infections (BSI). Many identification systems in microbiology laboratories have difficulty differentiating S. pneumoniae from other closely related species in the Streptococcus mitis group.
