Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does detection of molecular bacterascites in decompensated cirrhosis define a risk with decreased survival?
Answer: BactDNA quantification in ascitic fluid samples using culture-independent 16S rRNA gene-based methods seems to be an interesting approach to identify patients at risk of reduced survival. Our study warrants further evaluation of antibiotic treatment in patients with molecular bacterascites.
Output (English): yes
