Study summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) in identifying pathogenic organisms in ICU sepsis patients, aiming to find a method that allows early identification of pathogenic organisms and dynamic surveillance in order to assess the association between pathogenic species and loads and clinical characteristics and outcomes.
