30 Apr 2021
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is one of the most common infectious diseases and is a significant cause of mortality and morbidity globally. A microbial cause was not determined in a sizable percentage of patients with CAP; there are increasing data to suggest regional differences in bacterial aetiology. We devised a multiplex real-time PCR assay for detecting four microorganisms (Streptococcus...
