Along with this heightened capacity to provide highly accurate bacterial identifications have come some indirect consequences that may not be entirely appreciated by the scientific community. Some examples of these consequences are a transitional approach to training and a different skill set for current laboratorians, a quickly changing bacterial taxonomy, and peer-reviewed literature requiring much closer scrutiny.

Many of the devices discussed in this review are registered by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or have emergency use authorization for diagnostic testing in clinical laboratories. While many self-collection devices were evaluated for collection of specimens for SARS-CoV-2 testing, they can be used to collect samples for many other serologic, molecular, or other diagnostic methods following completion of necessary laboratory validation studies.

Current microbiological methods include culture, serology, and limited molecular panels. While helpful, these methods are unable to address the full range of potential pathogens (e.g., fastidious or noncultivable organisms or uncommon organisms not included in current panels). Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) is a molecular technique that analyzes and compares the nucleic acid content in a patient sample to a reference database of organisms that may include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and/or parasites, depending on the mNGS technology used. By bypassing the limitations of culture and targeted molecular assays, mNGS offers the potential to identify countless organisms directly from a patient specimen to aid in the diagnosis of an infectious process. Although promising, mNGS does have considerable limitations related to cost, interpretation, standardization, clinical relevance, turnaround time (TAT), and widespread availability. Thus, these factors should be considered prior to implementing mNGS for clinical use. Moreover, additional studies are required to fully understand the clinical and epidemiological impact of mNGS for the diagnosis of infectious diseases, including respiratory infections.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":39211,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Microbiology Newsletter","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46966228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
