Direct detection and identification of periprosthetic joint infection pathogens by metagenomic next-generation sequencing
16 May 2023
Abstract excerpt
This study assessed the application of metagenomic next-generation sequencing in pathogen detection of periprosthetic joint infections. A total of 95 cases who previously had undergone hip and knee replacement undergoing revision from January 2018 to January 2021 were included in this study. Specimens of synovial fluid and deep-tissue were collected for culture and metagenomic next-generation sequencing, and...
