Towards the development of next generation diagnostics and susceptibility testing in biofilm-related prosthetic joint infections Ghent University
We aim to optimize and validate relevant in vitro biofilm models by testing them with PJI clinical samples and isolates. Our findings will translate into innovative and clinical applicable approaches for a better diagnosis of PJIs and determination of antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of the microorganisms involved in PJIs. To this end, we propose the following specific objectives:
(i) Further development and validation of an in ...
