Commercial RT-PCR Tests Compared to Culture for Bacterial Gastroenteritis

Nucleic acid-based testing (culture-independent diagnostic testing, CIDT) for bacterial gastroenteritis offers three major advantages over culture-based diagnosis: it has better analytical sensitivity, is less labor intensive through automation, and has faster turnaround times. More...
