Molecular rapid diagnostic testing for bloodstream infections: Nanopore targeted sequencing with pathogen-specific primers
24 Apr 2024
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Nanopore sequencing, known for real-time analysis, shows promise for rapid clinical infection diagnosis but lacks effective assays for bloodstream infections (BSIs). METHODS: We prospectively assessed the performance of a novel nanopore targeted sequencing (NTS) assay in identifying pathogens and predicting antibiotic resistance in BSIs, analyzing 387 blood samples from December 2021 to April 2023....
