Detection of Bacterial Pathogens from Broncho-Alveolar Lavage by Next-Generation Sequencing
20 Sept 2017
Abstract excerpt
The applications of whole-metagenome shotgun sequencing (WMGS) in routine clinical analysis are still limited. A combination of a DNA extraction procedure, sequencing, and bioinformatics tools is essential for the removal of human DNA and for improving bacterial species identification in a timely manner. We tackled these issues with a broncho-alveolar lavage (BAL) sample from an immunocompromised patient who had...
