A Tear-Based Approach for Rapid Identification of Bacterial Pathogens in Corneal Ulcers Using Nanopore Sequencing
2024-09-28
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Purpose</h4> Corneal ulcers pose a significant threat to vision, with the need for prompt and precise pathogen identification being critical to effective treatment. This study assesses the efficacy of using next-generation portable sequencing (Nanopore Technology) to detect and identify bacterial pathogens directly from tear samples, providing a non-invasive alternative to traditional corneal scraping and cult...
