Toward Rapid Sequenced-Based Detection and Characterization of Causative Agents of Bacteremia
2017-07-12
Abstract excerpt
Rapid pathogen diagnosis and characterization performed by metagenomic DNA sequencing may permit physicians to better target therapies in order to improve patient outcomes. To this end, a novel sample-to-answer workflow was assembled to enable rapid clinical detection of causative pathogens of bacteremia in whole blood utilizing metagenomic sequence data captured by the MinION. Rapid lysis, nucleic acid purificati...
