Pulmonary Tuberculosis with Delayed Tuberculosis Infection of Total Knee Arthroplasty

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2007
Tuberculous prosthetic joint infection is rare. While early diagnosis is critical for treatment, it is usually delayed. Here, we present the case of a 72-year-old patient who underwent total knee arthroplasty for his right knee due to degenerative ...

Early prosthetic joint infection due to Ureaplasma urealyticum: Benefit of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis for diagnosis

Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2019
Detection of the most frequently bacteria involved in prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is usually performed by conventional cultures. We report a case of early PJI due to Ureaplasma urealyticum, diagnosed by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, which ...

Pathogenesis of Prosthetic Joint Infections

, 2012
Every wound is contaminated, but not all wounds end with a ­prosthetic joint infection (PJI). The pathogenic process involves bacterial ­adhesion steps that are fundamental in the early stage of PJI development and the consecutive biofilm formation. Biofilm development is an essential step in establishment of a chronic PJI.

Application of a metatranscriptomics technology, CSI-Dx, for the detection of pathogens associated with prosthetic joint infections

Scientific Reports
Preoperative identification of causal organism(s) is crucial for effective prosthetic joint infection treatment. Herein, we explore the clinical application of a novel metatranscriptomic (MT) workflow, CSI-Dx, to detect pathogens associated with ...
