Abstract
Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) is an untargeted technique capable of detecting all microbial nucleic acid within a sample. This protocol outlines our wet laboratory method for mNGS of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimens and tissues from sterile sites. We use this method routinely in our clinical service, processing 178 specimens over the past 2.5 years in a laboratory that adheres to ISO:15189 standards. We have successfully used this protocol to diagnose multiple cases of encephalitis and hepatitis.
