 This study examined the effectiveness of follow-up blood cultures for patients diagnosed with Pseudomonas originosa bacteremia. The results showed that follow-up blood cultures were not associated with reduced mortality rates, but rather were more likely to be ordered for patients with higher pit bacteremia scores. This suggests that targeted use of follow-up blood cultures based on severity of illness could reduce unnecessary culturing. This article was authored by Alexis L.
