Performance of targeted next-generation sequencing in the detection of respiratory pathogens and antimicrobial resistance genes for children

Conclusion. These results demonstrated the superiority of RPIP in pathogen detection, particularly for multiple and difficult-to-culture pathogens, as well as in predicting resistance to erythromycin and tetracycline, which has significance for the accurate diagnosis of pathogenic infection and in the guidance of clinical treatment.PMID:37910007 | DOI:10.1099/jmm.0.001771
