Title: Improving the Diagnosis of Bloodstream Infections: PCR Coupled with Mass Spectrometry Document date: 2014_4_9
ID: 05zahl5n_25
Snippet: Polymicrobial infections were detected in both studies by conventional and/or molecular methods. The agreement between methods on these specimens was low, as most of the mixed infections were detected by only one of the two methods. However, the use of this molecular method in addition to blood culture would have resulted in additional detections of clinically relevant microorganisms in some cases, which could have influenced patient outcome......
