Metagenomic Approach for Identification of the Pathogens Associated with Diarrhea in Stool Specimens
5 Dec 2015
Abstract excerpt
The potential to rapidly capture the entire microbial community structure and/or gene content makes metagenomic sequencing an attractive tool for pathogen identification and the detection of resistance/virulence genes in clinical settings. Here, we assessed the consistency between PCR from a diagnostic laboratory, quantitative PCR (qPCR) from a research laboratory, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and metagenomic...
