RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Microbial cell-free DNA (mcfDNA) sequencing of plasma can identify the presence of a pathogen in a host. In this study, we evaluated the duration of pathogen detection by mcfDNA sequencing vs conventional blood culture in patients with bacteremia. METHODS: Blood samples from patients with culture-confirmed bloodstream infection were collected within 24 hours of the index positive blood culture and 48 to 72 hours thereafter. mcfDNA was extracted from plasma, and next-generation sequencing was applied. Reads were aligned against a curated pathogen database. Statistical significance was defined with Bonferroni adjustment for multiple comparisons (P < .0033). RESULTS: A total of 175 patients with Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (n = 66), gram-negative bacteremia (n = 74), or noninfected controls (n = 35) were enrolled. The overall sensitivity of mcfDNA sequencing compared with index blood culture was 89.3% (125 of 140), and the specificity was 74.3%. Among patients with bacteremia, pathogen-specific mcfDNA remained detectable for significantly longer than conventional blood cultures (median 15 days vs 2 days; P < .0001). Each additional day of mcfDNA detection significantly increased the odds of metastatic infection (odds ratio, 2.89; 95% confidence interval, 1.53-5.46; P = .0011). CONCLUSIONS: Pathogen mcfDNA identified the bacterial etiology of bloodstream infection for a significantly longer interval than conventional cultures, and its duration of detection was associated with increased risk for metastatic infection. mcfDNA could play a role in the diagnosis of partially treated endovascular infections.
