Optimizing Nanopore Sequencing for Rapid Detection of Microbial Species and Antimicrobial Resistance in Patients at Risk of Surgical Site Infections
16 Feb 2022
Abstract excerpt
Surgical site infections (SSI) are a significant burden to patients and health care systems. They increase mortality rates, length of hospital stays, and associated health care costs. To reduce the risk of SSI, surgical patients are administered broad-spectrum antibiotics that are later adapted to target microbial species detected at the site of surgical incision. Use of broad-spectrum antibiotics can be harmful...
