Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>[Background]Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) has greatly improved our understanding of pathogens in infectious diseases such as pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). However, high human DNA background (> 95%) impedes the detection sensitivity of mNGS in identifying intracellular <italic>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</italic> (MTB), posing a pressing challenge for MTB diagnosis.
