Over a 4-year period, the antimicrobial stewardship team reviewed all positive (PCR+/Tox+) and indeterminate (PCR+/Tox-) cases with the most responsible physician for classification of patients as infection or colonization. Among 501 indeterminate samples, 213 (43%) were considered to be clinical infection, suggesting the need for ongoing clinical assessment of indeterminates.
在4年的时间里，抗菌药物管理团队与责任最大的医生一起审查了所有阳性（PCR+/Tox+）和不确定（PCR+/Tox-）病例，以将患者分类为感染或定植。在501份不确定样本中，213份（43%）被认为是临床感染，这表明需要对不确定病例进行持续的临床评估。
