Multicenter evaluation of Verigene Enteric Pathogens Nucleic Acid Test for detection of gastrointestinal pathogens

Abstract We investigated the efficiency of the Verigene Enteric Pathogens Nucleic Acid Test (Verigene EP test), which is an automated microarray-based assay system that enables rapid and simultaneous genetic detection of gastrointestinal pathogens and toxins, including those in the Campylobacter Gro...
