Why Test for Bacterial Gastrointestinal Pathogens?

Bacterial gastrointestinal infections can be caused by a variety of pathogens and may produce similar symptoms, including diarrhoea, abdominal pain, fever, nausea and vomiting. Testing can help identify the potential cause of gastrointestinal illness and support appropriate clinical assessment and patient management.

Shigella, Salmonella and Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) are important bacterial causes of gastrointestinal disease. While Shigella and Salmonella infections are commonly associated with intestinal infection, C. difficile can cause diarrhoea and inflammation of the colon, particularly when the normal balance of intestinal bacteria has been disrupted.

Rapid gastrointestinal pathogen testing provides a convenient way to screen stool samples for relevant bacterial pathogens and markers. Multiplex testing offers the additional advantage of screening for several potential causes of gastrointestinal infection within a single testing procedure.

The Biopanda Bacterial Gastrointestinal Combo Rapid Test provides rapid qualitative detection of Shigella, Salmonella and C. difficile markers, with visual results in just 10 minutes. It provides healthcare and laboratory professionals with a practical tool to support the investigation and differential diagnosis of suspected bacterial gastrointestinal infections.
