Pathogenic Detection by Metagenomic Next-generation Sequencing in Skin and Soft Tissue Infection
1 Jan 2024
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIM: Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) can be life-threatening, but the conventional bacterial cultures have low sensitivity and are time-consuming. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) is widely used as a diagnostic tool for detecting pathogens from infection sites. However, the use of mNGS for pathogen detection in SSTIs and related research is still relatively limited. PATIENTS AND...
