Abstract

The BioFire Joint Infection (JI) Panel offers a significant advancement in the rapid diagnosis of joint infections by facilitating the simultaneous detection of multiple bacterial and fungal pathogens, as well as resistance markers, directly from synovial fluid samples. An article published in the Journal of Clinical Microbiology by Moran et al. (J Clin Microbiol 62:e00182-24, 2024, https://doi.org/10.1128/jcm.00182-24) presents both prospective and retrospective analyses of the panel's real-world clinical application. The study highlights the panel's benefits, such as its rapid turnaround time and ability to identify challenging pathogens, while also discussing its limitations, particularly in detecting certain off-panel organisms.
