Direct testing of bronchoalveolar lavages from ventilator-associated pneumonia patients

Abstract In line with a rapid de-escalation of empirical antimicrobial therapy, this study assessed the validity of an E-test–based direct specimen testing method on bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) samples from ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) patients. E-test strips were directly applied onto Mue...
