The positivity of disparate sample types between metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) and microbial culture. Among all detected samples, the positive rates of mNGS were significantly higher than those of culture. A similar tendency was observed in all types of specimens, including blood, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). A P value of McNemar test or Fisher’s exact test lower than 0.05 was deemed as statistically significant
