Multicentre evaluation of two multiplex PCR platforms for the rapid microbiological investigation of nosocomial pneumonia in UK ICUs: the INHALE WP1 study

2020-11-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> <h4>Background</h4> ICU patients with hospital-acquired or ventilator-associated pneumonia (HAP or VAP) have high mortality, so broad-spectrum antibiotics are initiated at clinical diagnosis, then refined after 2-3 days, once microbiology results become available. Unfortunately, culture-based microbiological investigation is also insensitive, with aetiological agents remaining unidentified in many...
