The rapid metagenomics assay characteristics. (A) Sample type distribution of this study. (B) The sequencing and analyzing time after library were loaded into sequencer. Each point represents a sample, ordered by sequence time. Median point is marked by red dash line. (C) The read length of a sample is represented by the median value of all reads’ length. Similar to B, median point is marked by red dash line. (D) The abundance of microbes that belongs to different groups: all microbes (red); experimentally unverified Meta-IDs from culture negative samples (brown); experimentally verified Meta-IDs from culture negative samples (green); experimentally unverified Meta-IDs from culture positive samples (light blue); experimentally verified Meta-IDs from culture positive samples (blue); culture reported Meta-IDs from culture positive samples (purple). (E) The Gram-stain of all identified microbes, except for Chlamydia psittaci and Mycoplasma pneumoniae. (F) The oxygen requirement of all identified microbes, except for Chlamydia psittaci and Mycoplasma pneumoniae. (G) A pie chart showing portion of different pathogen identification methods.
