Rapid microbial evaluation of acute exacerbations of bronchiectasis using FilmArray Pneumonia plus Panel in a real-world setting
The sputum multiplex PCR panel (FAPP) enables rapid identification of bacterial and viral pathogens in AEB, supporting early antimicrobial decision-making. Our findings highlight the potential utility of sputum multiplex PCR panels in improving the management of bronchiectasis exacerbations.
