Research Article: Distribution Patterns of Pathogens Causing Lower Respiratory Tract Infection Based on Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing
Introduction:
Lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Several well-known pathogens, including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Candida, Herpesvirus , and others, have been identified as significant causes of infection.
