Evaluation of a Multiplex PCR Assay with Molecular Beacon Probes to Rapidly Detect Bacterial Pathogens Directly in Bronchial Alveolar Lavage (BAL) Samples from Patients with Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia (HAP)

BACKGROUND: Bacterial pneumonia is a common complication in hospitalized patients and it is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Standard culture-based methods may take 2–3 days to identify the etiologies of HAP, leading to delays in appropriate therapy. A rapid molecular assay that could d...
