Summary

This study looks at whether a special genetic test (tNGS) can help doctors treat hospitalized adults with pneumonia that isn't responding to first antibiotics. About 524 participants will be randomly assigned to get the test or standard care. The main goal is to see if the test shortens hospital stays.
