Diagnosis of Coxiella burnetii Prosthetic Joint Infection Using mNGS and ptNGS: A Case Report and Literature Review

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 15, Issue 1, Page 371-376, January 2023., 2023
Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) caused by Coxiella burnetii is rare and has atypical clinical symptoms and can cause missed diagnosis. Molecular diagnostic techniques metagenomic next‐generation sequencing (mNGS) and pathogen‐targeted next‐generation sequencing (ptNGS) are important tools for diagnosing C.

A Case of Polymicrobial, Gram-Negative Pulmonic Valve Endocarditis

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, 2019
Infective endocarditis due to Gram-negative, non-HACEK bacteria is a rare clinical entity. Even moreso, isolated pulmonic valve endocarditis accounts for less than 1.5–2% of all cases of infective endocarditis. These disease pathologies commonly occur in

Efficacy of microbial cell‐free DNA testing for detecting pathogens in pediatric patients with head and neck infections—An initial study

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
We investigate the utility of microbial cell‐free DNA (mcfDNA) from the blood to predict surgical culture results. In this study, only 26.9% of patients had mcfDNA results that were considered predictive of the causative organism(s). There was a significant burden of contamination in the cohort, emphasizing that dedicated protocols must be followed ...
