Analytical Tools and Databases for Metagenomics in the Next-Generation Sequencing Era [PDF]

Genomics & Informatics, 2013
Metagenomics has become one of the indispensable tools in microbial ecology for the last few decades, and a new revolution in metagenomic studies is now about to begin, with the help of recent advances of sequencing techniques. The massive data production and substantial cost reduction in next-generation sequencing have led to the rapid growth of ...

Diagnosis and Surveillance of Neonatal Infections by Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Microbial infections cause significant morbidity and mortality in neonates. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing is a hypothesis-free and culture-free test that enables broad identification of pathogens and antimicrobial resistance genes directly from clinical samples within 24 h.

Metagenomic next-generation sequencing as a diagnostic tool for toxoplasmic encephalitis [PDF]

Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2018
More than 100 different pathogens can cause encephalitis. Testing of all the neurological pathogens by conventional methods can be difficult. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (NGS) could identify the infectious agents in a target-independent manner. The role of this novel method in clinical diagnostic microbiology still needs to be evaluated.

Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing for the Diagnosis of Neonatal Infectious Diseases

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on evaluating the performance of mNGS using cfDNA and RNA from body fluid and blood samples for diagnosing neonatal infections. mNGS of RNA and cfDNA can achieve the unbiased detection and identification of trace pathogens from different kinds of neonatal body fluid and blood samples with a high ...

Application of metagenomic next-generation sequencing in patients with infective endocarditis

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
ObjectivesMetagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) technology is helpful for the early diagnosis of infective endocarditis, especially culture-negative infective endocarditis, which may guide clinical treatment. The purpose of this study was to compare the presence of culture-negative infective endocarditis pathogens versus culture-positive ones ...

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Human Pegivirus Encephalitis With Brain Detection and Response to Sofosbuvir Ledipasvir

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human pegivirus (HPgV‐1) has been associated with severe encephalomyelitis in immunocompromised patients. Its neurological spectrum remains poorly defined. We report a slowly progressive encephalitis in a person living with well‐controlled HIV, characterized by white matter abnormalities and inflammatory cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). HPgV RNA was
