Abbreviations: EAEC, enteroaggregative E coli; EPEC, enteropathogenic E coli; ETEC, enterotoxigenic E coli; STEC, shiga-toxin–like producing E coli.
BDMax Enteric Bacterial Panel detects specific Campylobacter (coli and jejuni) species but only reports as a group.
BDMax Extended Enteric Bacterial Panel detects specific Vibrio (cholerae, parahaemolyticus, and vulnificus) species but only reports as a group.
FilmArray Gastrointestinal panel detects specific Campylobacter (coli, jejuni, and upsaliensis) and Vibrio (cholerae, parahaemolyticus, and vulnificus) species but only reports as a group. When STEC is detected, the assay then determines if it is an E coli O157 serotype.
Verigene Enteric Pathogen Test detects specific Campylobacter (coli, jejuni, and lari) and Vibrio (cholera and parahaemolyticus) species but only reports as a group.
xTAG Gastrointestinal Pathogen Panel detects specific Campylobacter (coli, jejuni, and lari) species but only reports as a group.
