Multiplex Polymerase chain reaction to diagnose bloodstream infections in patients after cardiothoracic surgery
2019-04-03
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background: Sepsis and other infectious complications are major causes of mortality and mor-bidity in patients after cardiac surgery. Whereas conventional blood culture (BC) suffers from low sensitivity as well as a reporting delay of approximately 48–72 h, real-time multiplex poly-merase chain reaction (PCR) based technologies like “SeptiFast” (SF) might offer a fast and reliable alter...
