Evaluation of a commercial multiplex PCR (Unyvero i60®) designed for the diagnosis of bone and joint infections using prosthetic-joint sonication.BACKGROUND
 Furthermore, 180 microlitres of sonication fluid were used to carry out the multiplex PCR test (Unyvero i60 system®).  The Unyvero i60 system® showed slightly better results than traditional culture in terms of specificity and PPV.


 The Unyvero i60 system® may play a role in rapid diagnosis of PJI, due to its high specificity and PPV.
