“…In this study, metagenomic next generation sequencing was used to explore for putative pathogens associated with neonatal deaths in post-mortem blood and lung tissue samples, in Soweto, South Africa. Here we show that the metagenomic sequencing results corroborate the findings using conventional methods of culture and nucleic acid amplifications tests on post-mortem samples in detecting the pathogens attributed in the causal pathway of death in 90% (18/20) of the decedents. …”
