Enrichment of Microbial DNA in Plasma to Improve Pathogen Detection in Sepsis: A Pilot Study.

Background Diagnosis of sepsis and timely identification of pathogens in critically ill patients remains challenging. Plasma metagenomic sequencing to detect microbial cell-free DNA (mDNA) has shown promise, but low abundance of mDNA in plasma limits sensitivity and necessitates high sequencing dept...
