Clinical utility of 16S rRNA PCR in pleural infection

26 May 2021

Abstract excerpt

Pleural infections cause major morbidity and mortality, particularly amongst paediatric and elderly populations. The aetiology is broad, but pleural culture fails to yield a causative pathogen in approximately 40 % of cases. Alternative pathogen identification methods are therefore required. The aim of the study was to investigate the yield from and impact on patient care when performing 16S rRNA PCR on...
