Bar graphs showed the comparison between mNGS and culture results based on MSIS criteria. (A) Culture and mNGS results of deep tissue. (B) Culture and mNGS results of synovial fluid. (C) Culture and mNGS results under the combination of deep tissue and synovial fluid. mNGS metagenomic next-generation sequencing, MSIS+ MSIS positive, MSIS− MSIS negative.
