Metagenomic Sequencing Detects Respiratory Pathogens in Hematopoietic Cellular Transplant Patients
2017-01-24
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>RATIONALE</h4> Current microbiologic diagnostics often fail to identify the etiology of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) in hematopoietic cellular transplant recipients (HCT), which precludes the implementation of targeted therapies. <h4>OBJECTIVES</h4> To address the need for improved LRTI diagnostics, we evaluated the utility of metagenomic next generation sequencing (mNGS) of b...
