Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid Molecular Microbiologic Diagnosis of Prosthetic Joint Infection

TL;DR: PCR of prosthesis sonication samples is more sensitive than tissue culture for the microbiologic diagnosis of prosthetic hip and knee infection and provides same-day PJI diagnosis with definition of microbiology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of Prosthetic Joint Infection Pathogens Using a Shotgun Metagenomics Approach.

TL;DR: Metagenomics was used to investigate prosthetic joint infections and is a powerful tool to identify a wide range of PJI pathogens, including difficult-to-detect pathogens in culture-negative infections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improved Diagnosis of Prosthetic Joint Infection by Culturing Periprosthetic Tissue Specimens in Blood Culture Bottles

TL;DR: Results of this study demonstrate that the semiautomated method of periprosthetic tissue culture in blood culture bottles is more sensitive than and as specific as agar and thioglycolate broth cultures and yields results faster.
Journal ArticleDOI

Direct Detection and Identification of Prosthetic Joint Infection Pathogens in Synovial Fluid by Metagenomic Shotgun Sequencing.

TL;DR: A metagenomics-based approach to synovial fluid was applied in an attempt to detect microorganisms in 168 failed total knee arthroplasties, finding it to be particularly useful for culture-negative cases.
