Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Pathogen detection is crucial for diagnosis and targeted therapy in implant-associated bone and joint infections (BJI). Culture-based microbiology regularly fails to identify causative pathogens. This study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy and clinical usefulness of a syndromic panel polymerase chain reaction (spPCR) assay targeting common BJI pathogens in tissue specimens from patients with...
