Detection of clinically relevant pathogens was higher with next generation sequencing at 72% compared to 59% for sanger sequencing.
Concordance between sequencing methods was 80%, highlighting the reliability of next generation sequencing results.
Clinical samples revealed more polymicrobial presence with next generation sequencing detecting 13 samples against 5 by sanger.
Next generation sequencing identified Borrelia bissettiiae in a joint fluid sample, absent in sanger results.
