Evaluation of full-length nanopore 16S sequencing for detection of pathogens in microbial keratitis
15 Feb 2021
Abstract excerpt
Background Microbial keratitis is a leading cause of preventable blindness worldwide. Conventional sampling and culture techniques are time-consuming, with over 40% of cases being culture-negative. Nanopore sequencing technology is portable and capable of generating long sequencing reads in real-time. The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential of nanopore sequencing directly from clinical samples for the...
