Clinical utility of metagenomic next-generation sequencing on bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in diagnosis of lower respiratory tract infections
mNGS can identify a wide range of pathogens in LRTIs, with improved sensitivity and being more superior at diagnosing LRTIs etiologically. mNGS has the potential to enhance clinical outcomes by optimizing the treatment regimens.
