Characterization of native knee microorganisms using nextgeneration sequencing in patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty

Science Direct

Research Article: A proportion of patients with osteoarthritis undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty have organisms identified in their joint by NGS at the time of surgery. Organisms identified after TKA by NGS when concern for periprosthetic joint infection exists may represent the native microbiome rather than pathogenic microbes. Read Article
