18 Jun 2024
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Background Recent advances in shotgun metagenomic sequencing (sMGS) for detecting microbial cell-free DNA (mcfDNA) in peripheral blood have shown promise across various patient populations. This study evaluates the application of sMGS for diagnosing osteoarticular infections (OAIs), a condition with significant diagnostic challenges. Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis on 73 patients suspected...
