Detection of pathogens from resected heart valves of patients with infective endocarditis by next-generation sequencing
Objectives: Identification of the underlying pathogens of infective endocarditis (IE) is critical for precision therapy. Methods: We evaluated a metagenomic method with next-generation sequencing (NGS) for the direct detection of pathogens from the resected valves of 44 IE patients and seven rejecte...
