Targeted Metagenomic Sequencing-based Approach Applied to 2146 Tissue and Body Fluid Samples in Routine Clinical Practice

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The yield of next-generation sequencing (NGS) added to a Sanger sequencing-based 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was evaluated in clinical practice for diagnosis of bacterial infection. METHODS: PCR targeting the V1 to V3 regions of the 16S rRNA gene was performed, with amplified DNA submitted to Sanger sequencing and/or NGS (Illumina MiSeq) or reported as negative,...
