NextGen - Clinical Implication of Next Generation Sequencing (NCT05206500)

Clinical Implication of Next Generation Sequencing of Urinary Bacteria in Patients With Low Colony Forming Units of Bacteria in Traditional Urine Culture

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Phase4 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: Wake Forest University Health Sciences

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

Recently more advanced techniques, including Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) are available to detect bacteria in urine based on bacterial genomes. Comparing to traditional culture, these techniques have more sensitivity and could potentially be of a great help in patients with Colony Count of less than 10,000 and more than zero.
