Laboratory

Norovirus genogroup I+II orf1-orf2 junction region [Presence] in Stool by NAA with probe detection

Definition

This assay determines the presence of Norovirus genogroup I or II based on detection of the ORF1-ORF2 junction region. The assay does not distinguish between genogroup I and II. 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.
