Escherichia coli variants in periprosthetic joint infection: diagnostic challenges with sessile bacteria and sonication.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 May 2010

Abstract excerpt

The diagnostic yield of prosthetic joint-associated infection is hampered by the phenotypic change of bacteria into a sessile and resistant form, also called biofilm. With sonication, adherent bacteria can be dislodged from the prosthesis. Species identification may be difficult because of their variations in phenotypic appearance and biochemical reaction. We have studied the phenotypic, genotypic, and...
