Early diagnosis of brain abscess using real-time electron microscopy and metagenomics.

We report a case of brain abscess in which the etiological agent, Fusobacterium nucleatum, was identified within 6 hours from sampling using both rapid scanning electron microsopy and real-time metagenomics.本研究报道1例脑脓肿病例，研究人员采用快速扫描电子显微镜与实时宏基因组学两种检测手段，在采样后6小时内即成功鉴定出该病例的致病病原体——具核梭杆菌（Fusobacterium nucleatum）。
