A comparative study of mNGS and tNGS for pathogen detection in paired upper and lower respiratory tract specimens from pediatric pneumonia patients
ABSTRACT High-throughput sequencing technologies have become essential tools in clinical diagnostics, but the comparative performance of targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS) versus metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) in pediatric respiratory infections remains unclear. In this study, paired throat swab...
