Abstract Summary
New sequencing technologies are revolutionizing bloodstream infection diagnosis by rapidly detecting antibiotic-resistant pathogens within 8-48 hours, compared to slower traditional culture methods. This review compares whole-genome, targeted, and metagenomic sequencing approaches, showing each has unique strengths for different clinical scenarios and can significantly improve patient outcomes.
Why Brain? 🧠
New sequencing methods detect drug-resistant bloodstream infections faster than traditional cultures, with targeted tests in 8-24 hours vs. 24-48 hours for whole-genome analysis.
