Clinical metagenomics assessments improve diagnosis and outcomes in community-acquired pneumonia

Abstract Background Identifying the causes of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is challenging due to the disease’s complex etiology and the limitations of traditional microbiological diagnostic methods. Recent advances in next generation sequencing (NGS)-based metagenomics allow pan-pathogen detec...
