Rapid analysis of bacterial composition in prosthetic joint infection by 16S rRNA metagenomic sequencing

OBJECTIVES: Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is the most common cause of arthroplasty failure. However, infection is often difficult to detect by conventional bacterial cultures, for which false-negative rates are 23% to 35%. In contrast, 16S rRNA metagenomics has been shown to quantitatively detect...
