Heterogeneity in clinical patterns of adult lung abscess patients: an 8-year retrospective study in a tertiary hospital
Compared to conventional testing methods, mNGS demonstrates superior performance in detecting anaerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria. The low detection rate of conventional tests may result in an underestimation of the clinical significance of anaerobic bacteria infections. In patients with lung abscess caused by GNB, hematogenous dissemination, liver abscess and diabetes were more commonly observed and these patients tended to have longer hospital stays.
