OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The goal of this observational study is to measure the diagnostic accuracy of the Multiplex PCR technique in identifying pathogens during the diagnostic stage of resolving pre-implantation infection, in the context of treatment according to two-stage protocol for PJIs. This evaluation will be conducted by comparing the results obtained by Multiplex PCR with those derived from standard culture examination.

- treatment of infection with two-stage protocol.
- Obtaining informed consent
- Age ≥18 years
Exclusion Criteria1
- Isolates obtained during explantation not included in MULTIPLEX PCR panel
