Modern solutions for ancient pathogens: direct pathogen sequencing for diagnosis of lepromatous leprosy and cerebral coenurosis 

Abstract:
Microbes unculturable in vitro remain diagnostically challenging, dependent historically on clinical findings, histology, or targeted molecular detection. We applied whole-genome sequencing directly from tissue to diagnose infections with mycobacteria (leprosy) and parasites (coenurosis). Direct pathogen DNA sequencing provides flexible solutions to diagnosis of difficult pathogens in diverse contexts.
