82203-1
LaboratoryEscherichia coli Stx1 and Stx2 toxin stx1+stx2 genes [Presence] in Stool by NAA with non-probe detection
Definition
Qualitative detection of nucleic acid sequences in the Escherichia coli shiga-like toxin stx1 and stx2 genes in stool specimens by PCR and non-probe detection methods, such as melt curve analysis. This assay does not differentiate between the two toxins. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the submitter's test kit, FilmArray Gastrointestinal Panel (GI) v2.1.
