Direct detection of Streptococcus pneumoniae in positive blood cultures by real-time polymerase chain reaction.

abstract：:Data from recent conflicts related to war wounds and obligate anaerobes are limited. We define the epidemiology and antimicrobial susceptibility of obligate anaerobes from Iraq and Afghanistan casualties (6/2009-12/2013), as well as their association with clinical outcomes. Susceptibility against eleven antibiotics (7...
