Metagenomic next-generation sequencing provides prognostic warning by identifying mixed infections in nocardiosis

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Mengfan Jiao from the Stanford, United States have published the research work: Metagenomic next-generation sequencing provides prognostic warning by identifying mixed infections in nocardiosis, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of July/26,/2021

SUMMARY

As an opportunistic pathogen, Nocardia mainly causes infections in immunosuppressed patients (Beaman et_al, 1976; Rathish B Zito, 2020). The gold standard for nocardiosis laboratory diagnosis is bacterial culture, which usually takes 3-5 days and the sensitivity may be decreased by prior antibiotics usage (Rouzaud et_al, 2018a; Rathish, 2020). Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) is a new approach . . .
