Application of targeted next-generation sequencing to identify pathogens in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of adults with pulmonary infections
2024-04-19
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS) has emerged as an efficient diagnostic method for pathogens identification. herein, we aimed to evaluate its performance in pathogen detection in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Methods BALF samples were obtained from 262 adult patients with pulmonary infection and were detected by tNGS, microbial culture, Xpert® MTB/RIF assay...
