					<description><![CDATA[In neonatal intensive care, a tiny vial of blood can carry an enormous clinical decision. When a newborn is suspected of having sepsis, clinicians often begin antibiotics immediately, long before laboratory confirmation is available. A blood-culture instrument may later signal that microorganisms are growing, and the time required to produce that signal—known as time to [&#8230;]]]></description>
