Evaluation of Next-Generation Sequencing-based Metabarcoding Versus Culturing for Microbiological Assessment in Infectious Keratitis

NCT05183906 · Status: RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 100

Last updated 2024-02-02

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Infectious keratitis is a potential sight threatening condition. In conventional clinical practice culturing is performed in order to identify the causative microbial organism; however in recent years Next Generation Sequencing for the presence of ribosomal DNA from bacteria, fungi, or amoeba has become available. The present study aims to compare conventional culturing with Next Generation Sequencing for identifying microorganism causing keratitis.
