The clinical application of metagenomic next-generation sequencing in sepsis of immunocompromised patients

Abstract excerpt

Background: Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) was commonly applied given its ability to identify and type all infections without depending upon culture and to retrieve all DNA with unbiasedness. In this study, we strive to compare outcomes of mNGS with conventional culture methods in adults with sepsis, investigate the differences between the immunocompromised and control group, and assess the...
