Detected pathogens that were either detected only by xTAG GPP or by the conventional methods

Sample	Results of the xTAG GPP	Results of conventional methods
A	negative	Norovirus GI/GII
B	negative	Norovirus GI/GII
C	negative	Norovirus GI/GII + C. difficile
D	negative	Norovirus GI/GII + C. difficile
E	negative	C. difficile
F	negative	Yersinia
G	Norovirus GI/GII	negative
H	Norovirus GI/GII	negative
I	C. difficile	negative
J	Shigella	negative
K	Stx2	negative
L	Norovirus GI/GII + Campylobacter	Campylobacter
M	Campylobacter	Norovirus GI/GII + Campylobacter
N	C. difficile	Norovirus GI/GII + C. difficile

In case of sample L and in samples M and N double infections were found by the xTAG GPP and the conventional methods, respectively, instead of a single infection which was observed for the opposing test.
