The 10th International Conference on Clinical Metagenomics (ICCMg10) brought together clinicians, microbiologists, bioinformaticians, and industry partners to review progress and challenges in translating metagenomics into routine clinical practice. Discussions focused on advances in sequencing technologies, automation, clinically oriented workflows, and computational and reporting strategies. Clinical sessions addressed diagnostic implementation across infectious syndromes, including respiratory, prosthetic joint, bloodstream, and deep-seated infections, with attention to cell-free DNA assays, long-read sequencing, and antimicrobial resistance detection. Broader applications of metagenomics, spanning microbiota research and environmental systems, reflected the expanding scope of the field. Overall, ICCMg10 underscored the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration, harmonized practices, and clinically meaningful interpretation to support the broader implementation of clinical metagenomics.
