Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this project is to test the efficiency of a novel developed protocol for direct real-time metagenomic sequencing of Lower Respiratory Infection samples. The investigators aim to assess the anticipation time, compared to the traditional culturing methods and the accuracy, compared to gold standards

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Willingness and ability to provide written informed consent prior to performing the study procedures
2. Patients older than 18 years of age
3. Suspected bacterial Lower Respiratory Infection (LRI)
