Summary

This study looks at whether a quick PCR test can help hospitals decide faster when to isolate patients carrying a type of drug-resistant bacteria called CPE. Currently, the standard culture test takes up to 48 hours, which can delay infection control. Researchers will compare the time it takes to start or stop isolation using the new PCR method versus the old culture method in about 800 adult patients.
