Clinical Utility
The Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory Pathogens Panel (Stool) is a stool-based qPCR assay that evaluates bacterial, viral, and parasitic pathogens associated with gastrointestinal infections and gastroenteritis. The panel includes common foodborne pathogens, hospital-acquired pathogens, diarrheal pathogens, Helicobacter pylori, H. pylori virulence factors, and optional antibiotic resistance markers. The test is used to identify infectious causes of gastrointestinal symptoms and to evaluate the presence of pathogenic organisms associated with bacterial, viral, and parasitic infections.
