Research Article: Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction/Pooled Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing Was Not Associated with Increased Antibiotic Resistance in Management of Complicated Urinary Tract Infections
Introduction:
PCR-based diagnostic tests can reduce the time to results and improve sensitivity, but there are concerns that the increased sensitivity may lead to overtreatment and increase in antibiotic resistance, potentially preventing its wide clinical use for the diagnosis of complicated UTIs (cUTIs). –
