description | OBJECTIVES: This pilot study aimed to compare the commercial Unyvero ITI multiplex PCR application (U-ITI, Curetis GmbH) with conventional culturing concerning (a) detection of pathogens, (b) time to detection of pathogens and (c) time to and quality of antibiotic treatment recommendation in diagnostics of orthopedic implant-associated infections (OIAI). RESULTS: 72 tissue biopsies from 15 consecutive patients with deep OIAI infections were analyzed with conventional culturing including phenotypic antibiotic susceptibility testing and the U-ITI. U-ITI showed lower sensitivity than conventional culturing concerning detection of pathogens (73% vs 93%). 4/15 patients would have been given false negative results by U-ITI, all of which were culture-positive for Staphylococcus species. Median time to detection of pathogens was 47 h and antibiotic resistance 89 h by conventional methods compared to 13.5 h with the U-ITI. The U-ITI did not detect antibiotic resistance, whereas conventional culturing showed resistance to antibiotics covered by the U-ITI panel in 2 patients. Time to detection of pathogens was improved, but the detection limit for staphylococci was unsatisfactory. Although the time to antibiotic treatment recommendation was significantly reduced, the U-ITI would have resulted in incorrect antibiotic recommendation in 2 patients. Our data do not support use of this assay in diagnostics. |
