Metagenomic next-generation sequencing Reveals Respiratory Pathogen distribution in COVID-19
2025-05-23
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>This retrospective study compared metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) and traditional culture for pathogen detection in 43 patients with lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI), including 34 COVID-19 cases (14 critical, 20 non-critical) and 9 non-COVID controls. mNGS demonstrated superior sensitivity (95.35% vs. 81.08%) and broader pathogen coverage, identifying 36.36% of ba...
