Microbial signatures in the lower airways of mechanically ventilated COVID19 patients associated with poor clinical outcome
2021-02-24
Abstract excerpt
Mortality among patients with COVID-19 and respiratory failure is high and there are no known lower airway biomarkers that predict clinical outcome. We investigated whether bacterial respiratory infections and viral load were associated with poor clinical outcome and host immune tone. We obtained bacterial and fungal culture data from 589 critically ill subjects with COVID-19 requiring mechanical ventilation. On a...
