Application of Real-Time PCR Syndromic Panel on Lower Respiratory Tract Samples: Potential Use for Antimicrobial De-Escalation

Application of Real-Time PCR Syndromic Panel on Lower Respiratory Tract Samples: Potential Use for Antimicrobial De-Escalation

Molecular methods allow for a rapid identification of the main causative agents of pneumonia along with the most frequent resistance genes. Prolonged broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy without microbiological evidence of infection drives antimicrobial resistance. We evaluated if the result provided b...
