Figure 3 Results of metagenomic next-generation sequencing. A: Metagenomic next-generation sequencing of the pleural effusion reported 464 reads of Nocardia farcinica with genome coverage of 1.81%; B: This made up 77.33% of the total DNA reads; C: Metagenomic next-generation sequencing of the blood reported Nocardia farcinica for 18 reads with genome coverage of 0.07%; D: This made up 7.44% of the total DNA reads.
