OBJECTIVETo determine whether real-time availability of rapid molecular results of Staphylococcus aureuswould impact emergency department clinician antimicrobial selection for adults with cutaneous abscesses.DESIGNWe performed a prospective, randomized controlled trial comparing a rapid molecular test with standard of care culture-based testing. Follow-up telephone calls were made at between 2 and 7 days, 1 month, and 3 months after discharge.SETTINGTwo urban, academic emergency departments.PATIENTSPatients at least 18 years old presenting with a chief complaint of abscess, cellulitis, or insect bite and receiving incision and drainage were eligible. Seven hundred seventy-eight people were assessed for eligibility and 252 met eligibility criteria.METHODSClinician antibiotic selection and clinical outcomes were evaluated. An ad hoc outcome of test performance was performed.RESULTSWe enrolled 252 patients and 126 were randomized to receive the rapid test. Methicillin-susceptible S. aureus–positive patients receiving rapid test results were prescribed beta-lactams more often than controls (absolute difference, 14.5% [95% CI, 1.1%–30.1%]) whereas methicillin-resistant S. aureus–positive patients receiving rapid test results were more often prescribed anti–methicillin-resistant S. aureusantibiotics (absolute difference, 21.5% [95% CI, 10.1%–33.0%]). There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in 1-week or 3-month clinical outcomes.CONCLUSIONAvailability of rapid molecular test results after incision and drainage was associated with more-targeted antibiotic selection.TRIAL REGISTRATIONclinicaltrials.govIdentifier: NCT01523899Infect.
