Integrating Host Response and Unbiased Microbe Detection for Lower Respiratory Tract Infection Diagnosis in Critically Ill Adults

2018-06-11

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) lead to more deaths each year than any other infectious disease category(1). Despite this, etiologic LRTI pathogens are infrequently identified due to limitations of existing microbiologic tests(2).
