Heterogeneity of <i>Staphylococcus epidermidis</i> in prosthetic joint infections: Time to reevaluate microbiological criteria?
2021-04-05
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a feared complication after arthroplasty with Staphylococcus epidermidis as a major pathogen. One diagnostic criteria for PJI diagnosis is the finding of phenotypically identical organisms based on common laboratory tests in two or more periprosthetic microbial cultures. Because of phenotypical variation within a genetic clone, and clonal variation within a p...
