Diagnostic performance and antibiotic impact of droplet digital PCR in suspected sepsis: the PROGRESS trial.
Nature communications·August 20, 2026·PMID 42749736
Why it mattersRapid pathogen identification and load monitoring could enable earlier, more precise antibiotic adjustments in sepsis, where delays increase mortality. ddPCR's higher sensitivity and faster turnaround may improve antimicrobial stewardship and outcomes.
