| Clinical Info |
This test is a multiplex PCR panel for the detection of multiple bacterial, viral, and parasitic causes of diarrhea. This test alone is adequate in the majority of patients with prolonged diarrhea and Stool Culture and Ova and Parasite Examination are superfluous. Specimens positive for Salmonella, Shigella/EIEC, E. coli (shiga toxin-producing), Vibrio, and Yersinia are automatically reflexed to culture. |

| Methodology |
The FilmArray gastrointestinal panel (GI PCR Panel, Stool) is a multiplex PCR test that detects 22 pathogens (bacteria, parasites, and viruses) from stool in Cary Blair transport medium.(BioFire) The pathogens detected on this panel are: Campylobacter species, Plesiomonas shigelloides, Salmonella species, Vibrio sp., V. cholerae, Yersinia enterocolitica, Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli, Enteropathogenic E. coli, Enterotoxigenic E. coli, Shiga toxin-producing E coli, E coli O157, Shigella/Enteroinvasive E. coli, Cryptosporidium sp., Cyclospora sp., Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia, Adenovirus 40/41, Astrovirus, Norovirus GI/GII, Rotavirus A and Sapovirus. |
