Metagenomic sequencing to replace semi-quantitative urine culture for detection of urinary tract infections: a proof of concept

2017-08-21

Abstract excerpt

<h4> ABSTRACT </h4> Semi-quantitative bacterial culture is the standard method to diagnose urinary tract infections (UTI), but bacterial growth rate limits diagnostic speed and it is unreliable when patients have been pre-treated with antibiotics. Metagenomics could increase diagnostic speed and accuracy by sequencing the microbiome and resistome directly from urine samples, bypassing culture. However, a semi-qu...
