Improved Detection of Respiratory Pathogens by Use of High-Quality Sputum with TaqMan Array Card Technology

New diagnostic platforms often use nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal (NP/OP) swabs for pathogen detection for patients hospitalized with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). We applied multipathogen testing to high-quality sputum specimens to determine if more pathogens can be identified relative to NP...
