Simple multiplex PCR assays to detect common pathogens and associated genes encoding for acquired extended spectrum betalactamases (ESBL) or carbapenemases from surgical site specimens in Vietnam

Once surgical site infections (SSI) are detected in patients in medical intensive care, antibacterial/antifungal therapy is implemented.
