Speed test: new PCR method outruns standard lab for abdominal infections
NCT ID NCT07562204
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a rapid test called multiplex PCR can identify the germs causing serious abdominal infections faster than the usual lab culture method. Researchers collected fluid samples from 50 patients during surgery and compared the time each method took to find the bacteria or fungi. The goal was to see if the faster test could give doctors useful information sooner.
