Infectious diseases are an enormous public health burden and a growing threat to human
health worldwide. Emerging or classic recurrent pathogens, or pathogens with resistant
traits, challenge our ability to diagnose and control infectious diseases. Nanopore
sequencing technology has the potential to enhance our ability to diagnose, interrogate, and
track infectious diseases due to the unrestricted read length and system portability. This
review focuses on the application of nanopore sequencing technology in the clinical …
