Joint infections, which can involve either native or prosthetic joints, are medical emergencies that can lead to functional joint impairment, long-lasting disability, and may even be life-threatening. Unfortunately, traditional joint infection diagnostics are time consuming and have variable accuracy.
The BIOFIRE JI Panel tests for 31 pathogens common in joint infections, along with 8 antimicrobial resistance genes, with results in about an hour. Fast, comprehensive results may enable clinicians to make timely, optimal therapy decisions and support the goals of antimicrobial stewardship.
- Detects and identifies 29 bacterial targets, 2 yeast pathogens, and 8 antimicrobial resistance genes
- Results available in about 1 hour
