Defining the true sensitivity of culture for the diagnosis of melioidosis using Bayesian latent class models.
BACKGROUND: Culture remains the diagnostic gold standard for many bacterial infections, and the method against which other tests are often evaluated. Specificity of culture is 100% if the pathogenic organism is not found in healthy subjects, but the sensitivity of culture is more difficult to deter...
