Article Synopsis
- This study compares the effectiveness of two DNA extraction kits (DNeasy PowerSoil Kit and DNeasy PowerLyzer PowerSoil Kit) in detecting pathogens from samples collected from the nasopharynx/oropharynx (NP/OP).
- Results showed that the PowerLyzer kit yielded higher DNA concentrations and better detection rates for pathogens like S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae, and N. meningitidis compared to the discontinued kit.
- The findings suggest that using the more efficient kit could improve the recovery of low-abundance bacteria in clinical settings, but researchers should consider potential Ct value discrepancies when comparing results across studies utilizing different kits.
Despite contributing to the large disease burden in West Africa, little is known about the genomic epidemiology of which cause meningitis among children under 5 years old in the region. We analysed whole-genome sequencing data from 185 . isolates recovered from suspected paediatric meningitis cases as part of the World Health Organization (WHO) invasive bacterial diseases surveillance from 2010 to 2016.
