Diagnosis of bacteraemia in neonatal foals using 16S rRNA high‐throughput sequencing
Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Background Sepsis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in foals. Early diagnosis can improve outcome but is complicated by non‐specific clinical signs and delayed confirmation of infection via blood culture. Molecular assays represent a rapid and more sensitive alternative.
