Metagenomic sequencing of post-mortem tissue samples for the identification of pathogens associated with neonatal deaths

Abstract excerpt

Postmortem minimally invasive tissue sampling together with the detailed review of clinical records has been shown to be highly successful in determining the cause of neonatal deaths. However, conventional tests including traditional culture methods and nucleic acid amplification tests have periodically proven to be insufficient to detect the causative agent in the infectious deaths. In this study, metagenomic...
