Nanopore 16S amplicon sequencing enables rapid detection of pathogen in knee periprosthetic joint infection
18 Oct 2022
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: We investigated whether nanopore 16S amplicon sequencing is capable of bacterial identification in patients with knee prosthetic joint infection (PJI), and we compared its efficacy with conventional culture studies. METHODS: In total, 36 patients who had clinical manifestation suspected of PJI were enrolled in this study. To begin, synovial fluids were aspirated from the affected knee using aseptic...
