Comparison Shows that Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction Identifies Infection-associated Urinary Biomarker–positive Urinary Tract Infections That Are Missed by Standard Urine Culture

Background: Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (M-PCR) has increased sensitivity for microbial detection compared with standard urine culture (SUC) in cases diagnosed as urinary tract infections (UTIs), leading to questions whether detected microbes are likely causative of UTIs or are incidental fi...
