Blood Culture Organism And Resistance Panel

Tennessee rates for HCPCS 87154

Tests a positive blood culture for many bacteria and fungi at once by looking for each organism's genetic signature with a panel of probes, and flags genetic markers of antibiotic resistance where they are found. Naming the organism and its resistance pattern within hours rather than days lets antibiotic treatment be narrowed or switched early. Many targets are checked side by side in a single run, rather than an organism's genetic material being read out letter by letter.
