Comprehensive evaluation of metagenomic next‐generation sequencing for pathogen identification in patients with suspected infection: Establishment of a standardized validation workflow

VIEW, EarlyView.
Comprehensive evaluation of metagenomic next‐generation sequencing for pathogen identification in patients with suspected infection: Establishment of a standardized validation workflow. Abstract Metagenomic next‐generation sequencing (mNGS) enables unbiased identification of pathogens directly from clinical specimens. Despite its growing application in

Exploitation of Host Signal Transduction Pathways Induced by Streptococcus pneumoniae

, 2015
The induction of host signal transduction cascades by bacterial pathogens contributes directly to their virulence. In addition to the pore-forming cytolysin pneumolysin, several surface-exposed proteins of Streptococcus pneumoniae are also potent ...

Single‐target contamination modeling in pathogen metagenomic sequencing via simple linear regression

VIEW, EarlyView.
Abstract A simple linear regression framework was developed to quantify contamination in pathogen metagenomic next‐generation sequencing (mNGS). The model was trained on simulated contamination samples generated by spiking HeLa cell backgrounds (1 × 105 cells/mL) with gradient concentrations of Streptococcus pneumoniae positive standards (5.6 × 106 ...
