Improving diagnosis of infections: a prospective study sets out the indications of an innovative metagenomics tool

Scientists from Necker-Enfants Malades Hospital (AP-HP), the Institut Pasteur, Université Paris Cité, Inserm, University Paris-Est Créteil and the Alfort National Veterinary School, coordinated by Professor Marc Eloit and Dr. Anne Jamet, in collaboration with Dr. Jacques Fourgeaud and Beatrice Regnault, studied how the comprehensive genetic characterization of samples (also known as untargeted metagenomics) using metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) can be useful in diagnosing infections. The results of the study were published in the journal Lancet Microbe.
