Global scientifi c and political attention is currently focused on two new viruses associated with severe RTIs and high mortality: the avian infl uenza A H7N9 virus from China and novel coronavirus from the Arabian Peninsula. 11 Although several new rapid molecular diagnostic plat forms capable of simultaneously identifying both pathogens and the genetic determinants of anti microbial resistance are emerging, 12 they do not seem to be well suited to clinical presentations or downstream manage ment strategies for patients with RTIs. Furthermore, none can identify new emerging organisms for which genetic sequences are unavailable.	./cache/cord-278031-vpq4yghn.txt	./txt/cord-278031-vpq4yghn.txt
