BacteriologyMulticenter Evaluation of QIAstat-Dx Respiratory Panel V2 for Detection of Viral and Bacterial Respiratory PathogensQIAstat-Dx Respiratory Panel V2 (RP) is a novel molecular-method-based syndromic test for the simultaneous and rapid (∼70-min) detection of 18 viral and 3 bacterial pathogens causing respiratory infections. This report describes the first multicenter retrospective comparison of the performance of the QIAstat-Dx RP assay to the established ePlex Respiratory Pathogen Panel (RPP) assay, for which we used 287 respiratory samples from...
- BacteriologyClinical Characteristics and Outcome of Lung Transplant Recipients with Respiratory Isolation of Corynebacterium spp.
Although chronic respiratory disease and immunosuppression are risk factors for Corynebacterium species respiratory infection, data are scarce regarding this disease in lung transplantation. Our aim was to describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of lung transplant recipients (LTR) with respiratory isolation of...
