Identification by highly sensitive 16S metagenomic sequencing of an unusual case of polymicrobial bacteremia - 01/08/17
Highlights |
• | Current culture-based diagnosis of BSI is limited by frequency of false negatives. |
• | Polymicrobial infections, which are more severe, are extremely difficult to detect. |
• | We have developed molecular assays capable of detecting BSI with high sensitivity. |
• | We detected an unusual BSI involving Staphylococcus, Microbacterium and Janibacter |
• | This study provides insights into polymicrobial BSI associated with heart failure. |
