Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing for the Microbiological Diagnosis of Abdominal Sepsis Patients

Abstract excerpt

Objectives For patients with intra-abdominal infection (IAI), the rapid and accurate identification of pathogens remains a challenge. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) is a novel technique for infectious diseases, but its application in IAI is limited. In this study, we compared the microbiological diagnostic ability of plasma mNGS with that of conventional peritoneal drainage (PD) culture in critical...
