Application of metagenomic next-generation sequencing for rapid molecular identification in spinal infection diagnosis
1 Jul 2024
Abstract excerpt
Objective: This study aimed to determine the sensitivity and specificity of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) for detecting pathogens in spinal infections and to identify the differences in the diagnostic performance between mNGS and targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS). Methods: A total of 76 consecutive patients with suspected spinal infections who underwent mNGS, culture, and...
