Usefulness of next-generation DNA sequencing for the diagnosis of urinary tract infection

Abstract excerpt

Acute urinary tract infection (UTI) is a highly common clinical condition. Although bacterial culture is the gold standard diagnostic test, false negative results may be possible, leading to the pathogen being unidentified. In recent years, bacterial DNA sequencing analysis has garnered much attention, but clinical studies are rare in Japan. In this study, we assessed the usefulness of next-generation DNA...
