Detection of Pathogenic Bacteria From Septic Patients Using 16S Ribosomal RNA Gene–Targeted Metagenomic Sequencing

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Conventional blood cultures were compared to plasma cell-free DNA-based 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene polymerase chain reaction (PCR)/next-generation sequencing (NGS) for detection and identification of potential pathogens in patients with sepsis. METHODS: Plasma was prospectively collected from 60 adult patients with sepsis presenting to the Mayo Clinic (Minnesota) Emergency Department from March...
