Targeted Metagenomics for Clinical Detection and Discovery of Bacterial Tick-Borne Pathogens
1 Sept 2020
Abstract excerpt
Tick-borne diseases, due to a diversity of bacterial pathogens, represent a significant and increasing public health threat throughout the Northern Hemisphere. A high-throughput 16S V1-V2 rRNA gene-based metagenomics assay was developed and evaluated using >13,000 residual samples from patients suspected of having tick-borne illness and >1,000 controls. Taxonomic predictions for tick-borne bacteria were...
