Application of Next Generation Sequencing Technology in the Detection of Respiratory Pathogens
Respiratory infection is a common infectious diseases.Rapid and accurate diagnosis is an important ba-sis for the prevention and control of the epidemic situation and the prognosis of the disease.The conventional detec-tion methods for pathogens of respiratory tract infections include isolation,immunological methods such as ELISA,and molecular biology methods like fluorescence quantitative PCR.In recent years,Next Generation Sequencing technology has developed rapidly and has been widely used in the field of microbial detection.This article will re-view the research status and application progress of Next Generation Sequencing in the detection of respiratory tract pathogens.
