Abstract:Background
Sterile body fluids are devoid of any microbial presence, including commensal bacteria. However, bacterial invasion of these fluids can result in life-threatening infections, often leading to significant morbidity and mortality. Timely detection and precise identification of pathogens, along with antimicrobial susceptibility testing, are critical for optimizing therapeutic interventions and improving patient outcomes.
Objective
To study the prevalence of bacterial in… Show more
