To test the ability of high-throughput DNA sequencing to detect bacterial pathogens, we used it on DNA from a patient's feces during and after diarrheal illness. Sequences showing best matches for Campylobacter jejuni were detected only in the illness sample. Various bacteria may be detectable with this metagenomic approach.
为了测试高通量DNA测序检测细菌病原体的能力,我们在患者腹泻期间及之后对其粪便中的DNA进行了检测。仅在患病样本中检测到与空肠弯曲菌匹配度最高的序列。通过这种宏基因组学方法可以检测到多种细菌。
