Performance of a hybrid capture-based target enrichment next-generation sequencing for the identification of respiratory pathogens and resistance-associated genes in patients with severe pneumonia

ABSTRACT Severe pneumonia remains the leading infectious cause of death worldwide. The time-consuming nature and suboptimal sensitivity of sputum cultures hamper prompt pathogen detection for tailored treatments. Advanced techniques such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and next-generation sequenc...
