Abstract
<p class="p p-first-last" id="__p3">Identifying fastidious pathogens in patients with prosthetic joint infection (PJI) by culture is challenging. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) is a novel culture-independent approach that is associated with a higher likelihood for identifying pathogens. We present a case where mNGS was implemented to identify <em>Parvimonas micra</em>, a rarely reported and difficult-to-culture PJI pathogen.</p>
