6 Aug 2025
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Despite limited sensitivity and specificity, blood cultures (BCs) still represent the gold standard of diagnostic care in septic patients. We aimed to overcome current diagnostic limitations by unbiased next-generation sequencing (NGS) of circulating microbial cell-free DNA (mcfDNA) in plasma samples. METHODS: We performed a prospective, observational, non-interventional, multicenter study (Next...
