Multiplex PCR-based next generation sequencing as a novel, targeted and accurate molecular approach for periprosthetic joint infection diagnosis

Abstract excerpt

Objectives: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) diagnosis remains challenging, and the identification of the causative microorganism is, by far, the most important aspect. Here, we use multiple PCR-based targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS) to detect pathogens in PJI. To explore 1. the ability of targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS) to detect pathogens in PJI; 2. the consistency of tNGS, metagenomic...
