Investigating Transfusion-Related Sepsis using Culture-Independent Metagenomic Sequencing
2019-05-30
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Transfusion-related sepsis remains an important hospital infection control challenge. Investigating septic transfusion events is often restricted by the limitations of bacterial culture in terms of time requirements and low yield in the setting of prior antibiotic administration. <h4>Methods</h4> In three Gram-negative septic transfusion cases, we performed mNGS of direct clinical blood speci...
