Determining the Clinical Utility of 16S rRNA Sequencing in the Management of Culture-Negative Pediatric Infections

The use of 16S rRNA sequencing in culture-negative infections has improved identification of bacterial pathogens in select scenarios, but its clinical impact requires further elucidation, especially in the pediatric population. This retrospective study aims to determine the clinical utility of 16S r...
