| Abstract |
Next-generation sequencer (NGS) is a high-end high-throughput technology device for genetic analysis with an incomparably huge output and exhaustiveness compared with the conventional sequencing technology. Utilizing NGS in the clinical laboratory is expected to open a new horizon for diagnosis, therapy, and infection control in near future. In this review, prospects and challenges in using NGS for clinical microbiology are discussed. |
