VIASURE Gastrointestinal Panel III Real Time PCR Detection Kit is designed for the specific identification and differentiation of Salmonella, Campylobacter and/or Shigella/EIEC; Aeromonas and/or Yersinia enterocolitica; Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC), Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) and/or Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC)/Shigella; Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) and/or Enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC)/Shigella in human stool samples from patients with signs and symptoms of gastrointestinal infection.

This test is intended for use as an aid in the diagnosis of Salmonella, Campylobacter and/or Shigella/EIEC; Aeromonas and/or Y. enterocolitica; EHEC, STEC, EPEC and/or EIEC/Shigella; ETEC and/or EIEC/Shigella infection in combination with clinical and epidemiological risk factors.

DNA are extracted from stool specimens, multiplied using Real Time amplification and detected using specific primers and a fluorescent reporter dye probe for Salmonella, Campylobacter and Shigella/EIEC; Aeromonas and Y. enterocolitica; EHEC, STEC, EPEC and EIEC/Shigella; ETEC and EIEC/Shigella.
