Detection of rare microorganisms in bone and joint infections by metagenomic next-generation sequencing: discrimination, decision-making, and clinical benefits

Aims: This aim of this study was to analyze the detection rate of rare pathogens in bone and joint infections (BJIs) using metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS), and the impact of mNGS on clinical diagnosis and treatment. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 235 patients with B...
