Higher accuracy of genotypic identification compared to phenotyping in the diagnosis of coagulase-negative staphylococcus infection in orthopedic surgery [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Purpose To determine whether Repetitive Extragenic Palindromic PCR (rep-PCR) genotyping can improve the diagnosis of coagulase-negative staphylococcal (CoNS) orthopaedic infections in comparison to phenotyping. Methods Prospective study comparing the results of phenotypic/genotypic (rep-PCR) testing in patients with suspected CoNS infection. Each strain was analysed using both methods. Strains identified as identical in ≥2 samples were considered as pathogenic. Results 255 CoNS strains from 52 surgical episodes were included. Infection was diagnosed by phenotyping in 38(73%) cases and by genotyping in 40(77%). The Kappa index was 0.59. Sensitivity, Specificity, Positive Predictive Value (PPV) and Negative Predictive Value (NPV) for phenotyping (vs. rep-PCR) were: 88%, 75%, 92%, and 64%. 5/14(36%) of cases not considered as true infections by phenotyping were diagnosed as infections with genotyping. In a subgroup of 203 strains from 41 surgical procedures with orthopaedic implants, the kappa index was 0.68. Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, and NPV for phenotyping were: 93%, 73%, 90% and 80%. Again, 2/10 episodes in which CoNS were considered non-infective by phenotyping were diagnosed as infected by genotyping. Conclusions Rep-PCR genotyping can identify identical CoNS strains that differ in their phenotype and should be used as a complementary technique. One-third of infected cases may be misdiagnosed without genotypic analysis.
