79384-4
LaboratoryVibrio cholerae+parahaemolyticus rfbL+trkH+tnaA genes [Presence] in Stool by NAA with probe detection
Definition
This assay includes three separate nucleic acid targets for Vibrio cholerae and parahaemolyticus: the rfbL gene, the trkH gene, and tnaA gene. If any one of the markers are found the result is considered to be positive for Vibrio. This term was created for, but is not limited in use to, Nanosphere's Verigene Enteric Pathogens Nucleic Acid Test, which is intended for the detection and identification of common pathogenic enteric bacteria, viruses, and genetic virulence markers in stool specimens from individuals with signs and symptoms of gastrointestinal infection.
