Analysis of Bacterial Metabolites in Breath Gas of Critically Ill Patients for Diagnosis of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia—A Proof of Concept Study

Analysis of Bacterial Metabolites in Breath Gas of Critically Ill Patients for Diagnosis of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia—A Proof of Concept Study

Bacterial infection of the lower respiratory tract frequently occurs in mechanically ventilated patients and may develop into life-threatening conditions. Yet, existing diagnostic methods have moderate sensitivity and specificity, which results in the overuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics administer...
