Acute infectious diseases remain one of the leading causes of life-threatening conditions with a high mortality rate. Therefore, rapid identification of pathogenic bacteria is crucial for appropriate and adequate antibiotic treatment. Although culture-based techniques remain at the forefront of clinical microbial detection, these methods are time-consuming and initial antibiotic therapy is usually empirical. To overcome the limitations of conventional culture-based detection methods, molecular techniques for the genetic diagnosis of infectious diseases have been developed. 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene amplicon sequencing has proven to be a powerful strategy for accurate molecular diagnosis of bacterial infections. We have established a sequencing method for 16S rRNA gene analysis utilizing the nanopore sequencer MinIONTM, which enabled the identification of bacterial pathogens in clinical specimens with a total analysis time of less than 2h.
