genus bacteria are recognized as some of the leading causes of the bacterial diarrheal illness in both developing and developed countries. Recent pilot surveillance study revealed is the most common pathogen in the diarrheal cases using the enhanced filtration methods in Beijing. One outbreak caused by multi-drug resistant ( ) was identified in 2018. This is the first identified gastroenteritis outbreak caused by local ( ) infection in Beijing. A total of 14 patients were identified from August 23 to 26, 2019. The epidemiological investigation indicated that all of the patients worked at the same factory and the diarrhea happened after the same meal supplied from one company which service the meal delivery.

Objective: In this study, we investigated the application value of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) combined with targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS) in the pathogen detection-based diagnosis of patients with lung infections.

Method: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent tracheoscopy and conventional microbiological tests (CMTs) on BALF, coupled with metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) or tNGS. This investigation encompassed individuals with suspected lung infections at Tianjin First Central Hospital from March 2023 to July 2023.
