Rapid Diagnostics of Orthopaedic-Implant-Associated Infections Using Nanopore Shotgun Metagenomic Sequencing on Tissue Biopsies
Conventional culture-based diagnostics of orthopaedic-implant-associated infections (OIAIs) are arduous. Hence, the aim of this study was to evaluate a culture-independent, rapid nanopore-based diagnostic protocol with regard to (a) pathogen identification, (b) time to pathogen identification, and (...
