Pneumonia (PN) Panel
The BIOFIRE PN Panel identifies 33 targets from sputum-like (including endotracheal aspirate) and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL)-like (BAL or mini-BAL) samples.
Boost My Respiratory Testing
Pneumonia patients are frequently over-treated with antibiotics because it is difficult to quickly identify the pathogen responsible for their symptoms.
