High resolution metagenomic characterization of complex infectomes in paediatric acute respiratory infection
3 Mar 2020
Abstract excerpt
The diversity of pathogens associated with acute respiratory infection (ARI) makes diagnosis challenging. Traditional pathogen screening tests have a limited detection range and provide little additional information. We used total RNA sequencing ("meta-transcriptomics") to reveal the full spectrum of microbes associated with paediatric ARI. Throat swabs were collected from 48 paediatric ARI patients and 7 healthy...
