Rapid Diagnosis of Lower Respiratory Infection using Nanopore-based Clinical Metagenomics

2018-08-09

Abstract excerpt

Lower respiratory infections (LRIs) accounted for three million deaths worldwide in 2016, the leading infectious cause of mortality. The “gold standard” for investigation of bacterial LRIs is culture, which has poor sensitivity and is too slow to guide early antibiotic therapy. Metagenomic sequencing potentially could replace culture, providing rapid, sensitive and comprehensive results. We developed a metagenomic...
