This study evaluates the clinical benefit of a rapid test for fast diagnosis of bacteremia and fungemia from positive blood cultures in case of sepsis. This assay enables rapid identification of bacteria and fungi and allows to evaluate bacterial resistance to first line antibiotics. The clinical and medico-economic impact of this assay used in addition to the current diagnosis strategy (half of the patients) will be compared to the current diagnostic strategy alone (other half of the patient).
Bacteremia and fungemia are severe complications, sometimes life-threatening, of every sepsis. During septicemia, every hour matters to start an appropriate antibiotic or antifungal treatment as every hour of delay is associated to higher death rate.
The rapid multiplex PCR assay that is evaluated in this study allows to identify in 60 to 90 minutes, the bacteria or fungi that is present in the positive blood culture bottles and to identify resistance markers to first line antibiotics that are used to treat sepsis. This strategy allows quicker adaptation of antibacterial or antifungal treatment based on the species of the bacteria or fungi identified and on the results of the resistance markers compared to current diagnosis strategy of bacteremia or fungemia. This quicker adaptation could lead to improved survival rate, reduced complications of sepsis, reduced hospital stay length and could reduce the use of large spectrum antibiotics.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Multiplex PCR + Current strategy | Experimental | Results of the multiplex PCR will be send as soon as possible to the infectious disease phycian for quick adaptation of antibiotic treatment. Positive blood cultures will also undergo current diagnosis strategy for bacteremia and fungemia. |
|
| Current strategy alone | Active Comparator | Current diagnostic strategy based on the identification of bacteria and micromyces isolated in blood cultures after subculture by mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF) and determination of their sensitivity to antibiotics or antifungals by antibiotic susceptibility testing or antifungigram |
