| Abstract: | Background Timely identification of pathogens is crucial to minimize mortality in patients with severe infections. Detection of bacterial
and fungal pathogens in blood by nucleic acid amplification promises to yield results faster than blood cultures (BC). We
analyzed the clinical impact of a commercially available multiplex PCR system in patients with suspected sepsis. |
