Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“Clinical correlation is essential; a positive result must be interpreted alongside symptoms, recent antibiotic use, and hospitalization history to avoid overdiagnosis. Always consider specimen quality and potential colonization in asymptomatic patients. This test empowers UAE clinicians to differentiate true infection from carriage and initiate timely treatment.”
