Featured Abstract
Molecular Approach to Diagnosis of Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Device Infection
Sonicate fluid (SF), a solution derived from vortexing and sonication of explanted cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIED), is a higher-yield specimen compared to swabs or tissues for culture-based detection of microorganisms associated with CIED infection. Despite this, SF culture fails to identify a causative organism in ~50% of cases. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of 16S ribosomal RNA gene (rRNA) PCR/sequencing of SF and compare it to that of SF culture.
