Performance of targeted next-generation sequencing in the detection of respiratory pathogens and antimicrobial resistance genes for children

Abstract excerpt

Introduction. Respiratory tract infection, which is associated with high morbidity and mortality, occurs frequently in children. At present, the main diagnostic method is culture. However, the low pathogen detection rate of the culture approach prevents timely and accurate diagnosis. Fortunately, next-generation sequencing (NGS) can compensate for the deficiency of culture, and its application in clinical...
