The Application of Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing in Detection of Pathogen in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid and Sputum Samples of Patients with Pulmonary Infection

<div>Identification of pathogenic species in BALF and sputum samples by mNGS. (a) Identification of pathogens in BALF and sputum samples in patients with negative culture results. (b) Culture results of 32 patients: 19 positives (blue), 8 negatives (green), and 5 without paired culture results (grey). (c) Identification of pathogens in BALF and sputum samples of patients with positive culture results by mNGS.</div>
