Positive blood culture samples were collected from patients with bacterial bloodstream infection and tested by nanopore sequencing. This study compared the sequencing results for pathogen taxonomic profiling and antimicrobial resistance genes to those of species identification and phenotypic drug susceptibility using traditional microbiology testing. A total of 37 bacterial positive blood culture results of strain genotyping by nanopore sequencing were consistent with those of mass spectrometry. Among them, one mixed infection of bacteria and fungi was identified using nanopore sequencing and confirmatory quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The amount of sequencing data was 21.89 \u00b1 8.46 MB for species identification, and 1.0 MB microbial strain data enabled accurate determination. Data volumes greater than or equal to 94.6 MB nearly covered all the antimicrobial resistance genes of the bacteria in our study. In addition, the results of the antimicrobial resistance genes were compared with those of phenotypic drug susceptibility testing for <jats:italic>Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Klebsiella pneumoniae<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>Staphylococcus aureus<\/jats:italic>. Therefore, the nanopore sequencing platform for rapid identification of causing pathogens and relevant antimicrobial resistance genes complementary to conventional blood culture outcomes may optimize antimicrobial stewardship management for patients with bacterial bloodstream infection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fcimb.2023.1283094","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,12]],"date-time":"2023-12-12T14:54:41Z","timestamp":1702392881000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Metagenomic identification of pathogens and antimicrobial-resistant genes in bacterial positive blood cultures by nanopore sequencing"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Yahui","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yumei","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xinyu","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xianghui","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hongli","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jingjing","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiayu","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wenrui","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rong","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jie","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"4130","DOI":"10.1128\/JCM.01835-13","article-title":"Clinical evaluation of the FilmArray blood culture identification panel in identification of bacteria and yeasts from positive blood culture bottles","volume":"51","author":"Altun","year":"2013","journal-title":"J.
