The impact of a new Clostridium difficile nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) on antibiotic utilization in patients with suspected C difficile infection was assessed. This single-center, cross-sectional study of 270 patients demonstrated that the use of NAAT decreased antibiotic expenditure by reducing prolonged empiric days of therapy in these patients.
评估了一种新型艰难梭菌核酸扩增检测(NAAT)对疑似艰难梭菌感染患者抗生素使用的影响。这项对 270 名患者进行的单中心、横断面研究表明,NAAT 的使用通过减少这些患者经验性治疗的延长天数,降低了抗生素支出。
