Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Average duration of inadequate antibiosis due to delayed communication of blood culture microscopy outside normal office hours.<br><br>The time the blood culture flagged positive (1), the result of blood culture microscopy (2), the time of the communication of the microscopy together with the current antibiosis (3), the antibiosis two hours after the communication of the microscopy (4) and the final result of the blood culture diagnostics including the identification and the resistances of the pathogen (5) are recorded.<br>

Secondary Outcome Measures
