Improving the Diagnosis of Bacterial Infections: Evaluation of 16S rRNA Nanopore Metagenomics in Culture-Negative Samples
14 Jul 2022
Abstract excerpt
While 16S rRNA PCR-Sanger sequencing has paved the way for the diagnosis of culture-negative bacterial infections, it does not provide the composition of polymicrobial infections. We aimed to evaluate the performance of the Nanopore-based 16S rRNA metagenomic approach, using both partial and full-length amplification of the gene, and to explore its feasibility and suitability as a routine diagnostic tool for...
