Metagenomic sequencing for identification of nontuberculous mycobacteria and other pathogens in patients with mixed infection of the lung

BackgroundIt can be difficult to distinguish lung disease caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and mixed infections (MIs) that include NTM. Metagenomic next generation sequencing (mNGS) is a highly sensitive method that can reliably identify lung pathogens. We ret...
