Microbial cell-free DNA-sequencing as an addition to conventional diagnostics in neonatal sepsis
14 Aug 2024
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Bloodstream infections remain a challenge for neonatologists, as traditional culture-based methods are time-consuming and rely on adequate blood volume. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) offers an alternative, as it can identify microbial cell-free DNA (mcfDNA) in a small blood sample, providing rapid pathogen detection. This study aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of DISQVER®-NGS compared to...
