When microbial DNA is scarce, new profiling method helps separate genuine signals from contamination
A new method for profiling microbial DNA helps distinguish genuine signals from contamination in patient samples during acute infections. While existing taxonomic profilers using metagenome sequencing data are still under development and prone to producing false positives or inaccurate abundance estimates, this new approach could improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment guidance.
