Identification of pathogens in culture-negative infective endocarditis cases by metagenomic analysis
2018-06-02
Abstract excerpt
Pathogens identification is critical for the proper diagnosis and precise treatment of infective endocarditis. Although blood and valve cultures are the gold standard for IE pathogens detection, many cases are culture-negative, especially in patients who had received long-term antibiotic treatment, and precise diagnosis has therefore become a major challenge in the clinic. Metagenomic sequencing can provide both i...
