Shotgun Metagenomic Sequencing Analysis as a Diagnostic Strategy for Patients with Lower Respiratory Tract Infections

Shotgun Metagenomic Sequencing Analysis as a Diagnostic Strategy for Patients with Lower Respiratory Tract Infections

Conventional diagnostic methods (CDMs) for lower respiratory infections (LRIs) have limitations in detecting causative pathogens. This study evaluates the utility of shotgun metagenomic sequencing (SMS) as a complementary diagnostic tool using bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid. Sixteen BAL fluid sa...
