Observational analysis profiles microbiota in cerebrospinal fluid devices, suggesting novel infection patterns.
Background: Ventricular reservoir infections and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt infections are diagnosed when bacteria are recovered from microbiological cultures of CSF samples from these devices. We applied high throughput sequencing (HTS) to understand the course of changes in ventricular reservoir and shunt infection microbiota.
