Multiplex polymerase chain reaction to diagnose bloodstream infections in patients after cardiothoracic surgery
Abstract Background Sepsis and other infectious complications are major causes of mortality and morbidity in patients after cardiac surgery. Whereas conventional blood culture (BC) suffers from low sensitivity as well as a reporting delay of approximately 48–72 h, real-time multiplex polymerase chai...
