The Essential Role of PCR and PCR Panel Size in Comparison with Urine Culture in Identification of Polymicrobial and Fastidious Organisms in Patients with Complicated Urinary Tract Infections

Complicated urinary tract infections (cUTIs) are difficult to treat, consume substantial resources, and cause increased patient morbidity. Data suggest that cUTI may be caused by polymicrobial and fastidious organisms (PMOs and FOs, respectively); as such, urine culture (UC) may be an unreliable dia...
