NCT ID NCT06062251
First seen Jun 16, 2026 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a new DNA-based method called shotgun metagenomics can better diagnose chronic infections in artificial joints compared to standard lab cultures. Researchers tested 144 adults who needed surgery for a suspected joint infection. The goal was to see if this advanced test could identify the bacteria causing the infection more accurately, which could lead to better treatment.
