ABSTRACT

IMPORTANCE: Enteric bacterial infections caused by Salmonella, Shigella, pathogenic Escherichia coli, and Campylobacter represent one of the most common causes of infectious enteritis worldwide. The timely and accurate diagnosis of pathogens causing gastroenteritis is crucial for patient care, public health, and disease surveillance. While stool culture has long been the standard and highly specific method for detecting enteric pathogens, it is labor-intensive and time-consuming with limited sensitivity. To improve patient outcomes, there is a need to implement new cost-effective approaches for the detection of bacterial enteric pathogens with higher sensitivity and faster time to result. This study shows that multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction-based tests, such as the TAQPATH Enteric Bacterial Select Panel, are accurate and cost-effective diagnostic alternatives for the detection and differentiation of the most common enteric bacterial pathogens, offering quicker time to result and higher sensitivity compared to routine stool culture.
