Direct-from-Blood Microbial Sequencing Assay for Pathogen and Antibiotic Resistance Detection in Bloodstream Infections
Bloodstream infections (BSIs) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality that require rapid identification of the infecting pathogen to guide treatment. However, nearly all available diagnostics for BSIs rely on blood culture and so are inherently slow, requiring 1-2 days for bacterial growth. A
