Improving Patient Outcomes While Reducing Empirical Treatment with Multiplex-Polymerase-Chain-Reaction/Pooled-Antibiotic-Susceptibility-Testing Assay for Complicated and Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections

Improving Patient Outcomes While Reducing Empirical Treatment with Multiplex-Polymerase-Chain-Reaction/Pooled-Antibiotic-Susceptibility-Testing Assay for Complicated and Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections

This study compared rates of empirical-therapy use and negative patient outcomes between complicated and recurrent urinary tract infection (r/cUTI) cases diagnosed with a multiplex polymerase chain reaction or pooled antibiotic susceptibility testing (M-PCR/P-AST) vs. standard urine culture (SUC). S...
