The study compares a device that is used for the detection of bacteria and MDR pathogens from skin, soft tissue and nose with the gold-standard (microbiological lab). It is a novel use for this device because it has been used in samples from the lower-respiratory tract.
The purpose of this study is to find out if a POC-PCR device can be use in the diagnosis of hospital acquired pneumonia and ventilation-associated pneumonia.
