Abstract

Being able to rapidly identify causative agents will help to make rational medical decisions in the clinical management of sepsis. Microbial cell-free DNA released from lysed pathogens in the infected human circulation has been shown to have high sensitivity for detection of pathogens. Here we present the combination of a novel portable platform for cfDNA extraction and real-time sequencing protocol and we demonstrate the identification of circulating microbial sequences in under 6h.
