Using circulating microbial cell-free DNA to identify persistent Treponema pallidum infection in serofast syphilis patients
Summary: The question of whether serofast status of syphilis patients indicates an ongoing low-grade Treponema pallidum (T. pallidum) infection remains unanswered. To address this, we developed a machine learning model to identify T. pallidum in cell-free DNA (cfDNA) using next-generation sequencing...
