Evaluation of bacterial co-infections of the respiratory tract in COVID-19 patients admitted to ICU

Ehsan Sharifipour, Saeed Shams, Mohammad Esmkhani et al. · 1 Sep 2020

BACKGROUND: COVID-19 is known as a new viral infection. Viral-bacterial co-infections are one of the biggest medical concerns, resulting in increased mortality rates.
