Abstract

We found that NGS technology has great significance for the diagnosis of brucellosis in non-epidemic area and can rule out other infections. The number of Brucella gene fragments detected by NGS may be affected by clinical resistance to Brucella treatment and Brucella infection. The sensitivity of SAT to detect Brucella may is limited.
