Study: A prospective study evaluated the accuracy of next-generation sequencing (NGS) in identifying synovial and deep tissue infective microbes in periprosthetic joint infection patients (65 revision arthroplasties and 17 primary arthroplasties). In infected tissues, culture identified 17 cases and NGS 25 cases. NGS identified microbes in 9 of the aseptic revisions with negative cultures and in 6 of the primary total joint arthroplasties. NGS identified additional organisms that escaped detection via culture methods. Read Study
