LaboratoryEscherichia coli enterotoxigenic ltA+st1a+st1b genes [Presence] in Stool by NAA with non-probe detection
Definition
This assay detects the presence of one or more of the Escherichia coli enterotoxigenic ltA, st1a and st1b toxins using PCR and melt curve analysis. The assay does not distinguish between the three toxins. This term was created for, but is not limited in use to, BioFire's FilmArray Gastrointestinal panel, which is intended for the detection and identification of nucleic acids from multiple bacteria, viruses, and parasites directly from stool samples from individuals with signs and/or symptoms of gastrointestinal infection.
