Application of mNGS in the Etiological Analysis of Lower Respiratory Tract Infections and the Prediction of Drug Resistance

Abstract excerpt

LRTIs are caused by hundreds of pathogens, and they have become a great threat to human health due to the limitations of traditional etiological detection methods. As an unbiased approach to detect pathogens, mNGS overcomes such etiological diagnostic challenges. However, there is no unified standard on how to use mNGS indicators (the sequencing reads, genomic coverage, and relative abundance of each organism) to...
