Ultrasound frequency of sonication applied in microbiological diagnostics has a major impact on viability of bacteria causing periprosthetic joint infection
Objectives: Sonication of explanted prosthesis constitutes an element of microbiological diagnostics. The aim of performing this procedure is to remove biofilm and to increase sensitivity of diagnostics. Ultrasound used for medical purposes are low-frequency and low-intensity. With this wide range o...
