Point-of-care multiplex PCR promises short turnaround times for microbial testing in hospital-acquired pneumonia – an observational pilot study in critical ill patients

BACKGROUND: The early beginning of an adequate antibiotic therapy is crucial in hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP), but depends on the results of conventional microbiological diagnostics (cMD). It was the aim of this study to evaluate the performance and turnaround times of a new point-of-care multip...
