The Application of Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing in Detection of Pathogen in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid and Sputum Samples of Patients with Pulmonary Infection

Objective. To uncover the application value of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) in the detection of pathogen in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and sputum samples. Methods. Totally, 32 patients with pulmonary infection were included. Pathogens in BALF and sputum samples were tested...

To uncover the application value of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) in the detection of pathogen in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and sputum samples. Methods. Totally, 32 patients with pulmonary infection were included. Pathogens in BALF and sputum samples were tested simultaneously by routine microbial culture and mNGS. Main infected pathogens (bacteria, fungi, and viruses) and their distribution in BALF and sputum samples were analyzed. Moreover, the diagnostic performance of mNGS in paired BALF and sputum samples was assessed. Results. The pathogen culture results were positive in 9 patients and negative in 13 patients. No statistical differences were recorded on the sensitivity (78.94% vs. 63.15%, p=0.283) and specificity (62.50% vs. 75.00%, p=0.375) of mNGS diagnosis in bacteria and fungus in two types of samples. As shown in mNGS detection, 10 patients’ two samples were both positive, 13 patients’ two samples were both negative, 7 patients were only positive in BALF samples, and 2 patients’ sputum samples were positive. Main viruses mNGS detected were EB virus, human adenovirus 5, herpes simplex virus type 1, and human cytomegalovirus. Kappa consensus analysis indicated that mNGS showed significant consistency in detecting pathogens in two samples, no matter bacteria (p<0.001), fungi (p=0.026), or viruses (p=0.008). Conclusion. mNGS showed no statistical differences in sensitivity and specificity of pathogen detection in BALF and sputum samples. Under certain conditions, sputum samples might be more suitable for pathogen detection because of invasiveness of BALF samples.Wanghui ShiShanshan ZhuHindawi LimitedarticleComputer applications to medicine.
