Table 2.

Review of pre-analytical target enrichment methods using adhesion receptor interactions to detect infection. Note that samples mostly consisted of artificially spiked materials. Hence, most of the tests target bacteria. The test costs could not be compared, as data were frequently missing. (LPS: Lipo-Poly-Saccharide; LTA: Lipo-Teichoic Acid).
