Next-generation DNA sequencing offers diagnostic advantages over traditional culture testing
8 Jun 2023
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: While the clinical utility of next-generation DNA sequencing (NGS) as a diagnostic tool for infections in humans and traditional pets has been demonstrated, there is a lack of data regarding its utility for exotic animals. For exotic patients, traditional culturing is especially challenging for anaerobic and fungal pathogens. Therefore, diagnosis often relies on PCR, which provides a high degree of...
