Investigating Transfusion-related Sepsis Using Culture-Independent Metagenomic Sequencing

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Transfusion-related sepsis remains an important hospital infection control challenge. Investigation of septic transfusion events is often restricted by the limitations of bacterial culture in terms of time requirements and low yield in the setting of prior antibiotic administration. METHODS: In 3 gram-negative septic transfusion cases, we performed metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) of...
