Characterization of the nasopharyngeal viral microbiome from children with community‐acquired pneumonia but negative for Luminex xTAG respiratory viral panel assay detection

Abstract excerpt

In the present study, 50 nasopharyngeal swabs from children with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) but negative for 18 common respiratory viruses, as measured by the Luminex xTAG Respiratory Viral Panel Assay, were subjected to multiplex metagenomic analyses using a next-generation sequencing platform. Taxonomic analysis showed that all sequence reads could be assigned to a specific species. An average of 95.13%...
