Pathogenic Detection by Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing in Osteoarticular Infections

Conclusions: mNGS is a robust diagnostic tool for pathogenic detection in samples from OAI patients, compared to routine cultures. The mNGS technique is particularly valuable to diagnose pathogens that are difficult to be cultured, or to test samples from patients previously treated with antibiotics.
