29 Jul 2022
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to analyze the pathogenic bacteria spectrum in invasive and primary osteoarticular infection (IOI and POI) and compare the pathogen detection rate of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) and microbial culture in IOI and POI. METHODS: The suspected POI and IOI cases from 2014-2021 were included. The diagnosis of POI or IOI was made by at least two orthopedic surgeons, two...
