Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Introduction</h4> Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is considered as gold-standard for the characterization of the lung microbiome. The aim of this study was to elucidate the applicability of less-invasive sampling by endotracheal aspirate (ETA) compared with BAL for the analysis of respiratory microorganisms in critically ill patients who required mechanical ventilation. <h4>Methods</h4> Pairw...
