Value of multiplex PCR for detection of antimicrobial resistance in samples retrieved from patients with orthopaedic infections

Abstract Background The performance of multiplex PCR (mPCR) for detection of antimicrobial resistance from clinical isolates is unknown. We assessed the ability of mPCR to analyse resistance genes directly from clinical samples. Patients with orthopedic infections were prospectively included. Phenot...
