Is there value in the routine practice of discarding the incision scalpel from the surgical field to prevent deep wound contamination with Cutibacterium acnes? An update

Jeffrey B. Shroff et al.

Summary: In patients undergoing shoulder arthroplasty, a significant portion has culturable quantities of C acnes on their skin at the time of incision, despite stringent presurgical preparation and scrub protocols. C acnes contamination is more common in male patients.

Clinical Metagenomic Sequencing for Species Identification and Antimicrobial Resistance Prediction in Orthopedic Device Infection

Teresa L. Street et al.

Summary: Diagnosis of orthopedic device-related infection is challenging, but metagenomic sequencing can help without culture. However, detecting antimicrobial resistance (AMR) using metagenomic data is difficult. Human DNA depletion can increase the amount of microbial DNA sequence data available. In this study, metagenomic sequencing coupled with human DNA depletion successfully detected AMR and identified species in orthopedic device-related infection.

Amplicon-Based Next-Generation Sequencing as a Diagnostic Tool for the Detection of Phylotypes of Cutibacterium acnes in Orthopedic Implant-Associated Infections

Diana Salomi Ponraj et al.

Summary: Diagnosing orthopedic implant-associated infections caused by Cutibacterium acnes is challenging due to the difficulties in differentiating true infection from contamination. However, the use of amplicon-based next-generation sequencing (aNGS) approach can help determine the presence and relative abundances of C. acnes phylotypes in clinical samples, thus aiding in distinguishing contamination from true infection.

Gut permeability may be associated with periprosthetic joint infection after total hip and knee arthroplasty

Emanuele Chisari et al.

Summary: Recent investigations have shown that the loss of mucosal barrier function in the gastrointestinal tract can affect antigen trafficking and the interaction between the gut microbiome and the immune system, ultimately impacting immune system function. This study suggests a possible link between gut permeability and periprosthetic joint infections (PJI), with higher levels of certain markers indicating increased gut permeability in PJI cases compared to non-infected cases. Further research is needed to explore the potential clinical implications of this association.

Cutibacterium acnes is an intracellular and intra-articular commensal of the human shoulder joint

Robert Hudek et al.

Summary: Through multiple methods of detection, it was found that C acnes exists in the shoulder joint and may be a commensal of the shoulder joint. Immunohistochemical staining is an effective method of detection that can increase the detection rate of C acnes.

Next-generation sequencing not superior to culture in periprosthetic joint infection diagnosis

B. J. Kildow et al.

Summary: This study compared the diagnostic accuracy of different methods for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) and found that Next-generation sequencing (NGS) did not provide superior sensitivity or specificity compared to culture, with sensitivity of 60.9% and specificity of 89.9%.

Rapid Diagnostics of Orthopaedic-Implant-Associated Infections Using Nanopore Shotgun Metagenomic Sequencing on Tissue Biopsies

J. Christopher Noone et al.

Summary: This study evaluated a culture-independent, rapid nanopore-based diagnostic protocol for orthopaedic-implant-associated infections, showing that sequencing-based pathogen detection is possible within 24 hours using nanopore technology and outperformed culture-based methods in terms of speed and pathogen detection, while still needing improvement for antibiotic susceptibility testing.

Better choice of the type of specimen used for untargeted metagenomic sequencing in the diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infections

R. He et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the diagnostic value of mNGS in using three types of specimen for patients with PJI, showing high sensitivity and specificity in detecting pathogens. mNGS of prosthetic sonicate fluid outperformed other specimen types, indicating its potential to partly replace traditional tests such as bacteriological culture.

Diana Salomi Ponraj et al.

Summary: SGAB IAIs are challenging to diagnose due to non-specific clinical and laboratory findings, requiring a high degree of clinical suspicion and awareness of diagnostic methods. Further studies are needed to determine the ideal diagnostic methodology for identifying these infections.
