Microbiological diagnosis of endophthalmitis using nanopore targeted sequencing

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Microorganism identification is critical for the early diagnosis and management of infectious endophthalmitis, but traditional culture can yield false-negative results. Nanopore targeted sequencing (NTS) is a third-generation sequencing technique with multiple advantages. This study aimed to test aqueous humour or vitreous fluid samples from presumed cases of infectious endophthalmitis using NTS to...
