Clinical significance

"There are many pathogens that can cause a gastrointestinal infection. They may be viral, bacterial (or bacterial toxins) or parasitic in origin. There are currently a wide variety of techniques available for diagnosing these gastrointestinal infections, depending on the microbiological orientation (virus, bacteria, parasites), with equally variable sensitivities and specificities, and sometimes long analytical timescales.The use of the gastrointestinal PCR panel enables: microbiological documentation of the aetiology, with simultaneous research into the most frequently incriminated micro-organisms. The result is available within a few hours, from a single stool sample.The gastrointestinal panel includes the following targets:Bacteria : - Campylobacter (C. jejuni/coli/upsaliensis) - Clostridium difficile: A/B toxins - Plesiomonas shigelloides - Salmonella sp - Vibrio (V. parahaemolyticus/V. vulnificus/V. cholerae), - Yersinia enterocolitica - Enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC)/Shigella - Enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC) - Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) - Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) - Shiga-like toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) stx1/stx2 - E. coli O157:H7Parasites : - Cryptosporidium sp - Cyclospora cayetanensis - Entamoeba histolytica - Giardia intestinalisViruses - Adenovirus F 40/41 - Astroviruses - Norovirus GI/GII - Rotavirus A - Sapovirus"
