Hospital Acquired Pneumonia (HAP) and Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP)
While data is still emerging, reports have suggested that 15% of hospitalized coronavirus patients developed a secondary bacterial infection, the definition of which is: clinical symptoms or signs of pneumonia or bacteraemia with positive culture1.
Among patients who died from coronavirus, 16% of patients had secondary infections2.
Sample collection, transport, identification and accurate treatment is vital to reducing patients' time in hospital and ultimately saving lives.
