Prospective evaluation of real-world performance and clinical impact of the Biofire FilmArray joint infection panel
ABSTRACT Limitations of culture-based diagnostic approaches in pathogen detection in joint infections (JI) can be overcome by amplification-based, molecular assays.Recently, a syndromic panel PCR (spPCR) assay (Biofire JI panel; BJA) was approved for pathogen identification from synovial fluid (SF).Here, the performance and the clinical impact of t
