Blood and BALF mNGS for bacteria and fungi pathogen identification. (a) The culture results in 39 patients. 16 patients had positive culture results, shown in red; 13 patients had negative results, shown in green; the remaining 10 patients had no paired culture results which were sampled simultaneously with mNGS, shown in grey. (b) Pathogen identification of BALF and blood mNGS in patients with positive culture results. The sensitivity of the BALF mNGS and blood mNGS was (13/16 = 81.3%) and (4/16 = 25.0%), respectively. (c) Pathogen identification of BALF and Blood mNGS in patients with negative culture results. The specificity of the BALF mNGS and blood mNGS was (10/13 = 76.9%) and (11/13 = 84.6%), respectively. Abbreviations: mNGS, metagenomic next-generation sequencing; BALF, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.
