Study design. A total of 200 consecutively available lower respiratory tract samples were collected between January and November 2018. Samples were from adult patients with respiratory symptoms at a large tertiary care academic medical center. Remnant samples were stored at –80°C prior to being tested with the BFPP on the BioFire FilmArray 2.0. Antibiotic utilization and standard-of-care test results were obtained by retrospective chart review, and these data were used to determine turnaround time and test performance characteristics.
