Fig. 1 — Performance of the BioFire Joint Infection (JI) panel technology (bioMérieux) in periprosthetic hip and knee cases with unclear microbiological results. The number of positive JI panel results was compared with the number of positive (culture-positive) and negative (culture-negative) results initially obtained (at the time of the specific procedure) by conventional culture either on a) synovial fluid (SF) only or on b) tissue(s) and/or sonication fluid only from infected, non-infected, and inconclusive cases. c) Percentage of positive agreement between JI panel-positive results and PJI classification according to International Consensus Meeting (ICM) 2018 criteria, including early acute, late acute, and chronic infections. Cult.-neg., culture-negative; Cult.-pos., culture-positive; JI pos., JI-positive; Multi-pos., multi-positive; Single-pos., single-positive; UNC, unexpected negative-culture; UPC, unexpected positive-culture.
