Popis: • Respiratory samples obtained and screened for 22 different viruses, 16 bacteria, and 5 genetic drug resistance targets by Target Enriched Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction Methods To determine the frequency of detecting potentially pathogenic bacterial and viral gene targets in respiratory specimens collected from symptomatic patients during the 2013-2014 influenza season Hospitalized patients with respiratory symptoms admitted during the influenza season 2013-2014 showed high rate of H1N1 detected of 30%, it showed co-detection of viral and bacterial targets, females were more commonly infected . Those with other viral infections were commonly RSV and coronavirus. Detection of MRSA target was high in our patient population whether been carrier or infected. H1N1 and MRSA were detected more common in elderly. Esmeralda Asis Gutierrez asise@uab.edu Phone : 256-551-4557 Abstract #47909
