TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the sensitivity and specificity of mNGS and culture for diagnosing infectious disease and found that mNGs yielded a higher sensitivity for pathogen identification and is less affected by prior antibiotic exposure.

TL;DR: In this article, the sensitivity of mNGS for detecting pathogens in SSTI cases was superior to that of culture testing (67.7% vs. 35.4%).

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper analyzed COVID-19 patients for co-infection rate and antimicrobial usage in Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center (SPHCC) from January 23rd to March 14th 2020.

TL;DR: mNGS may be a promising technology for the early auxiliary diagnosis of active TB, especially sputum-negative pulmonary TB (PTB) and tuberculous serous effusion and in clinical TB cases, mNGS detected additional positive results.

TL;DR: A 50-year-old woman presented with right back pain, low fever, leukocytosis, a high level of C-reactive protein and a high erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and metagenomic next-generation sequencing of both the pus and blood showed high reads of multiple pathogens, including anaerobes and the three culture-positive pathogens.
