Rapid diagnosis of intra-amniotic infection using nanopore-based sequencing

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Early diagnosis and treatment of intra-amniotic infection is crucial. Rapid pathogen identification allows for a definite diagnosis and enables proper management. We determined whether the 16S amplicon sequencing performed by a nanopore sequencing technique make possible rapid bacterial identification at the species level in intra-amniotic infection. METHODS: Five cases of confirmed intra-amniotic...
