🩺 Sepsis management: what if diagnosis no longer took days?

In an interview published the 4th February 2026 @The Pathologist, Dr Dewitte, ICU physician at Bordeaux University Hospital, discusses how current sepsis workflows — still largely dependent on blood cultures — often delay actionable information at a critical time and How OCEAN Dx’s bacteremia test can change things for both clinical decision-making and antibiotic management.

👉 The OCEAN Dx’s  test presented in this study could shift current practice:
⏱️ Results in ~5 hours, no cultures required
🔍 Performance comparable to the gold standard, with excellent negative predictive value
🧪 Culture-independent approach, well suited for patients already on antibiotics

💡 This interview is highly relevant for clinicians, laboratory professionals, and hospital decision-makers involved in improving sepsis diagnosis and outcomes.
