Expanded PCR panel for uropathogen identification and treatment recommendations in urinary tract infections
These results highlight the effectiveness of expanded real-time PCR panels for quickly and accurately identifying uropathogens, surpassing traditional SUC sensitivity. Adopting these advanced molecular techniques, particularly in suspected complicated UTI cases, improves diagnosis efficiency, leading to faster pathogen identification and treatment, ultimately reducing patient morbidity.
