Next-Generation Sequencing for the Diagnosis of Challenging Culture-Negative Endocarditis

Next-Generation Sequencing for the Diagnosis of Challenging Culture-Negative Endocarditis

Diagnosis of culture-negative infective endocarditis usually implies indirect pathogen identification by serologic or molecular techniques. Clinical metagenomics, relying on next-generation sequencing (NGS) is an emerging approach that allows pathogen identification in challenging situations, as evi...
