Abstract:Background
Universal PCR and Next Generation Sequencing (uPCR/NGS) is a major advancement in microbiology. It is a highly sensitive and specific test that amplifies ribosomal RNA in samples to detect bacterial and fungal pathogens. We investigated the uPCR/NGS tests sent from Henry Ford Health (HFH) and the effect obtaining this test had on patient care.
Methods
We completed a retrospective, observational study assessing all … Show more
