The spectrum of pathogens that can cause gastrointestinal infections- bacteria, parasites and viruses, requires an assortment of classical detection methods in order to target and identify the causative agent. Many of these classical methods suffer from variable specifity and sensitivity, and in cases, when patients have symptoms and signs that are not specific enough, but are indicative of a disease, the use of syndromic testing eliminates the guess work and facilitate clinical decision making.
Multiple Real-time PCR test allow for several of the most common gastrointestinal pathogens to be tested at once, while providing excellent analytical specificity and sensitivity.
UNDERSTANDING ETIOLOGY IS THE KEY FOR A SUCCESS
► ОNE SAMPLE, FOR MANY PATHOGENS
► ETIOLOGICAL DIAGNOSIS ENABLES APPROPRIATE TREATMENT
► PREVENTIVE MEASURES FOR INFECTION CONTROL
► SAVES TIME AND MONEY
