Objectives: Clinicians worldwide struggle to identify the bacterial aetiology of bone and joint infections. Failure to unequivocally identify the pathogen is linked to poor clinical outcomes. We explored the added value of analysing multiple samples per patient with 16S ribosomal DNA (16S rDNA) sequencing in diagnosing postoperative bone and joint infections. All patients had received antimicrobials prior to sampling, and false-negative cultures could be suspected. Bone biopsies obtained from patients with postoperative bone and joint infections for cultures were also subjected to 16S rDNA sequencing. Results: In 5/28 infectious episodes, sequencing identified the causative organism of the infection when cultures failed. In 8/28 episodes, the methods led to different results, potentially leading to different antimicrobial choices. The analysis of multiple samples per patient helped rule out potential contaminating pathogens. We conclude that 16S rDNA sequencing has diagnostic value for patients receiving antibiotic treatment. We regard the method as a complement to culturing when the cultures are negative. Multiple samples per patient should be analysed to determine the clinical significance of positive findings.
