A bioluminescent assay of bacterial ATP for rapid detection of bacterial growth in 512 clinical aerobic blood cultures was evaluated. At the detection limit of bacterial ATP (lO-'Omol/l) in the blood cultures 94.2% of the true positive blood cultures were detected (sensitivity) and the specificity w
