Bacterial Panel Detects Stool Pathogens from Swabs

Repeated bouts of diarrhea and persistent diarrheal disease disrupt intestinal function and absorption, making diarrheal disease a leading cause of malnutrition in children less than 5 years of age. Importantly, diarrheal disease is both treatable when correctly diagnosed and preventable via proper infection control measures. More...
