Microbial diagnosis of endophthalmitis using nanopore amplicon sequencing
21 Apr 2021
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: We investigated whether nanopore amplicon sequencing of aqueous humor was capable of rapid pathogen identification in infectious endophthalmitis. METHODS: 5 cases of culture-positive bacterial endophthalmitis and 3 cases of fungal endophthalmitis (1 culture-positive and 2 presumed) were included. DNA was extracted from the aqueous humor and vitreous specimen, and PCR of bacterial rDNA (16S) and fungal...
