HIS = Hospital Information System. LIMS = Laboratory Information Management System. BC = Blood culture. MALDI-TOF MS = Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-Of-Flight Mass Spectrometry. AST = Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing. The gray dashed line represents the flow of blood culture specimens and bacteria isolated from the blood culture specimens. * Hospital level is defined by the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) Thailand. Level-A is Advanced-level, level-S is Standard-level, and level-M1 is Mid-level public referral hospital. **Some automated systems can perform both bacterial identification and AST.
