Performance of ddPCR-GNB for microbial diagnosis of suspected bloodstream infection due to the four most common gram-negative bacteria: a prospective, multicenter study

Abstract excerpt

ABSTRACT We aimed to validate the performance of ddPCR-GNB, a plasma droplet digital PCR panel targeting the four most common gram-negative bacteria, for patients with suspected bloodstream infection (BSI). Patients suspected of having BSIs were prospectively enrolled. The results of blood culture and ddPCR-GNB were compared, and cases with discordant results were arbitrated on the basis of additional...
