The Respiratory Bacteria Profile by PCR is a molecular test focused on the identification of clinically relevant respiratory bacteria, useful for confirming etiology and guiding more precise antibiotic management.

This test is indicated when pneumonia or bacterial/atypical infection is suspected (persistent fever, productive cough, poor evolution), in conditions compatible with whooping cough or environmental risk exposure (e.g., water aerosols), and when there is a lack of response to initial treatments or a need to adjust antibiotics.
