The Role of Metagenomics and Next-Generation Sequencing in Infectious Disease Diagnosis

Steve Miller et al.

Summary: Majority of studies show that mNGS has similar sensitivity to specific PCR assays and can identify more potential pathogens than conventional methods. Concerns remain about contamination and detection of nonclinically significant organisms, highlighting the importance of careful interpretation of pathogenicity and potential association with clinical syndromes. Further research is needed to evaluate the improvement in clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness of mNGS testing.

Long-term hepatitis B virus infection of rhesus macaques requires suppression of host immunity

Sreya Biswas et al.

Summary: In this study, a second-generation model of HBV infection in rhesus macaques is presented and characterized. The study shows that extended infection in macaques requires suppression of host immunity. The findings provide important insights into understanding the mechanisms of HBV infection and may potentially accelerate the development of new curative therapies for HBV.

Plasma metagenomic sequencing to detect and quantify bacterial DNA in ICU patients suspected of sepsis: A proof-of-principle study

Mehreen T. Kisat et al.

Summary: This study shows that bacterial DNA levels in plasma are elevated in critically ill patients with active infection, and pathogen-specific DNA can be detected in plasma, particularly after enrichment using selection for shorter fragments. Serial changes in bDNA levels may provide informative of treatment response.

Metagenomic Next Generation Sequencing in the Detection of Pathogens in Cerebrospinal Fluid of Patients After Alternative Donor Transplantation: A Feasibility Analysis

Binglei Zhang et al.

Summary: Central nervous system complications can occur in 9%-15% of patients after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, with non-specific clinical manifestations making it difficult to infer the cause. Retrospective analysis showed that metagenomic next generation sequencing is highly sensitive in diagnosing CNS infections after allo-HSCT.

A theoretical and generalized approach for the assessment of the sample-specific limit of detection for clinical metagenomics

Arnt Ebinger et al.

Summary: Metagenomics is a powerful tool for identifying novel pathogens, with the limit of detection being a critical parameter. A probability-based model was developed and validated to assess the sample-specific limit of detection in metagenomics experiments.

Rapid pathogen detection by metagenomic next-generation sequencing of infected body fluids

Wei Gu et al.

Summary: The developed mNGS test using cell-free DNA from body fluids demonstrates high sensitivity and specificity for identifying pathogens, showing potential clinical utility. This method shows promise in rapid pathogen detection and may accelerate clinical decisions by providing high-specificity, unbiased detection from diverse body fluids using metagenomic sequencing.
