Sixteen cases of severe pneumonia caused by Chlamydia psittaci in South China investigated via metagenomic next-generation sequencing

Abstract excerpt
Introduction. Chlamydia psittaci is an important cause of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). The spectrum of CAP due to Chlamydia psittaci ranges from mild, self-limited to acute respiratory failure and the early identification of this disease can be challenging. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid has the potential to improve the pathogen identification in severe CAP....
