Rapid sequencing‐based diagnosis of infectious bacterial species from meningitis patients in Zambia

摘要

We have developed a portable system for the rapid determination of bacterial composition for the diagnosis of infectious diseases. Our system comprises of a nanopore technology‐based sequencer, MinION, and two laptop computers. To examine the accuracy and time efficiency of our system, we provided a proof‐of‐concept for the detection of the causative bacteria of 11 meningitis patients in Zambia.
