Detection of Biofilm-associated Implant Pathogens in Cardiac Device Infections: High Sensitivity of Sonication Fluid Culture Even in the Presence of Antimicrobials

INTRODUCTION: Sonication showed more sensitivity than traditional culture in the diagnosis of device infections. Aims of the study were to assess the role of sonication in the microbiological diagnosis and management of cardiac device infections (CDIs), to evaluate the sensitivity of sonication in p...
