Evaluation of 16S-Based Metagenomic NGS as Diagnostic Tool in Different Types of Culture-Negative Infections
30 Aug 2024
Abstract excerpt
Bacterial infections pose significant global health challenges, often underestimated due to difficulties in accurate diagnosis, especially when culture-based diagnostics fail. This study assesses the effectiveness of 16S-based metagenomic next generation sequencing (NGS) for identifying pathogens in culture-negative clinical samples across various medical settings. Overall, 48% of samples were collected from...
