Next-generation sequencing of the metagenome (mNGS) is gaining traction as a valuable tool for diagnosing infectious diseases. Compared to mNGS, pathogen detection based on Oxford Nanopore Technology further shortens the detection time. This study seeks to assess the efficacy of Nanopore sequencing in identifying pathogens associated with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) among elderly individuals in China.
