The development of a multiplex immunoassay and enriched medium for diagnosing S. aureus and GBS in MSKI showed high diagnostic potential. The study findings support the development of species-specific immunoassays for identifying causal pathogens in active MSKI, especially in conjunction with standard culture.
Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B streptococcus, GBS) are common causes of deep musculoskeletal infections (MSKI) and result in significant patient morbidity and cost to the healthcare system. One of the major challenges with MSKI is the lack of faithful diagnostics to correctly identify the primary pathogen, as standard culture-based assays are prone to false positives in the case of polymicrobial infections, and false negatives due to limitations in sample acquisition and antibiotic use before presentation. To improve upon our current diagnostic methods for MSKI, we developed a multiplex immunoassay for antigen-specific IgGs in serum (Luminex), and medium enriched for newly synthesized antibodies (MENSA) for anti-S. aureus and GBS generated from cultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of orthopedic infection patients undergoing surgical treatment. Samples were obtained from 110 MSKI patients: 80 diabetic foot ulcer, 21 periprosthetic joint infection, 5 septic arthritis, 2 spine, 1 hand, and 1 fracture-related infection (FRI). Anti-S. aureus and anti-GBS antibody titers were compared to culture results to assess their concordance in identifying the pathogens. Immunoassay, particularly MENSA, showed high diagnostic potential for monomicrobial S. aureus and GBS orthopedic infections (AUC > 0.95). MENSA also demonstrated diagnostic potential for GBS polymicrobial orthopedic infection and for GBS DFU (AUC > 0.83 for both). Serum showed high diagnostic potential for S. aureus PJI (AUC > 0.95). Taken together, these findings support the development of species-specific immunoassays for the identification of causal pathogens in active MSKI, especially in conjunction with standard culture.
