Improved Diagnostics in Bacterial Neonatal Meningitis Using a Next-Generation Sequencing Platform

Abstract Introduction Bacterial meningitis in infants is an infrequent but life-threatening condition. Empiric therapy should begin as soon as meningitis is thought likely. Consequently, the causative microorganisms may not always be detected using culturing techniques, as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)...
