Optimizing Nanopore Sequencing for Rapid Detection of Microbial Species and Antimicrobial Resistance in Patients at Risk of Surgical Site Infections

ABSTRACT Surgical site infections (SSI) are a significant burden to patients and health care systems. We evaluated the use of Nanopore sequencing (NS) to rapidly detect microbial species and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes present in intraoperative bile aspirates. Bile aspirates from 42 patient...
