Critical Advancements: Next-Generation Diagnostics for Lung Pathogen Identification in Patients Who Are Immunocompromised

SCASM: Southern California Branch of the American Society for Microbiology Annual Meeting

Join a distinguished panel of infectious disease specialists as they review current clinical guidelines and evidence for metagenomic sequencing of microbial cell-free DNA. This session will explore the critical questions of who to test, when to test, and why metagenomic sequencing—demonstrating how this innovative technology can enhance workflows and complement traditional approaches to infectious disease diagnostics. Drawing from their own experiences, panelists will share approaches to diagnostic stewardship, lessons in implementation, and compelling patient cases where metagenomic sequencing impacted clinical decision-making and patient outcomes.
