79389-3
LaboratoryRotavirus A nsp5 gene [Presence] in Stool by NAA with probe detection
Definition
This assay detects the nsp5 gene that is specific for Rotavirus A, the most common type of Rotavirus that affects humans. 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. The Verigene Rotavirus test is not expected to detect Rotavirus genogroups B, D, and NADRV, or genogroup C strains with the exception of porcine strains within genogroup C.
