Core Tip	Brain abscesses are mixed infections, and there is difficulty in detecting all pathogens on routine bacterial cultures. We report the case of a 54-year-old male with a brain abscess caused by oral bacteria. The patient recovered well after receiving a combination of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS)-assisted guided medication and surgery. mNGS may be used for the rapid diagnosis of pathogenic microorganisms and may play an important role in precision medicine.
