ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

Campylobacter spp. infection is one of the leading causes of foodborne diarrhoeal illness in humans worldwide. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the DiaSorin LIAISON(R) Campylobacter assay for human campylobacteriosis diagnosis.

METHODOLOGY:

A total of 645 stool samples from 640 patients suspected of having gastrointestinal infection were included. A stool culture was simultaneously performed with the DiaSorin LIAISON(R) Campylobacter assay to detect the presence of Campylobacter spp.

RESULTS:

Taking the conventional culture to be the perfect gold standard, sensitivity and specificity rates of the DiaSorin LIAISON(R)Campylobacter assay were 100% and 97.7%, respectively; and 99.1% and 98.6%, respectively, when taking the culture to be the imperfect gold standard (Bayesian Model).

CONCLUSION:

This new assay might be a useful tool especially for the screening of negative

RESUMEN

INTRODUCCIÓN:

La infección por Campylobacter spp. es una de las principales causas de enfermedades diarreicas de transmisión alimentaria en el ser humano. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar la plataforma DiaSorin LIAISON(R) Campylobacter assay para el diagnóstico de la campilobacteriosis humana.

METODOLOGÍA:

Se incluyeron un total de 645 muestras de heces de 640 pacientes con sospecha de infección gastrointestinal. Se realizaron simultáneamente coprocultivo y DiaSorin LIAISON(R) Campylobacter assay para detectar la presencia de Campylobacter spp.

RESULTADOS:

Asumiendo el cultivo convencional como el método de referencia perfecto, DiaSorin LIAISON(R) Campylobacter assay obtuvo una sensibilidad y una especificidad del 100% y 97,7%, respectivamente; y del 99,1% y 98,6%, respectivamente, asumiendo el cultivo como método de referencia imperfecto (modelo bayesiano)
