Microbial Circulating Cell-Free DNA—A Tool for Early Detection of Infection
Abstract
Early diagnosis of the infection is the major factor in reducing the morbidity and mortality. Traditional markers including the procalcitonin and C-reactive protein play a major role for the detection of bacterial infection. Advances in molecular biology revolutionized in early detection of infection. Recent studies found the profound application of detection of pathogen cell-free DNA through application of plasma next-generation sequencing for detection of infection with high sensitivity and specificity.
Keywords: infection, pathogen cell-free DNA, plasma next-generation sequencing
