Improved pathogen identification in sepsis or septic shock by clinical metagenomic sequencing
2025-04-06
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> <h4>Objectives.</h4> Despite limited sensitivity and specificity, blood cultures (BCs) still represent the gold standard of diagnostic care in septic patients. We aimed to overcome current diagnostic limitations by unbiased next-generation sequencing (NGS) of circulating microbial cell-free DNA (mcfDNA) in plasma samples. <h4>Methods.</h4> We performed a prospective, observational, non-interventio...
