Optimized Antibiotic Management of Critically Ill Patients with Severe Pneumonia Following Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction Testing: A Prospective Clinical Exploratory Trial

Optimized Antibiotic Management of Critically Ill Patients with Severe Pneumonia Following Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction Testing: A Prospective Clinical Exploratory Trial

Molecular diagnostic testing is assumed to enable fast respiratory pathogen identification and contribute to improved pneumonia management. We set up a prospective clinical trial at a tertiary hospital intensive care unit including adult patients suspected of severe pneumonia from whom a lower respi...
