Recent publications highlight the clinical performance of Genetic Signatures EasyScreen™ Enteric Pathogen Detection Assays

Two recent publications highlight the clinical performance of Genetic Signatures EasyScreen™ Enteric Pathogen Detection Assays.

The most recent publication by Stark et al. evaluates the clinical performance of the EasyScreen™ Enteric Protozoan Detection Kit.

Stark D, Roberts T, Marriott D, Harkness J. Evaluation of the EasyScreen™ Enteric Parasite Detection Kit for the detection of Blastocystis spp., Cryptosporidium spp., Dientamoeba fragilis, Entamoeba complex, and Giardia intestinalis from clinical stool samples. Diagnostic Microbiology & Infectious Disease Volume 78, Issue 2 , Pages 149-152, February 2014.

The earlier publication highlights the improved detection of gastrointestinal pathogens using the EasyScreen™ Enteric Pathogen Detection Assays. This work was carried out in collaboration with several Sydney, NSW, Australia hospital Microbiology departments.

Siah S.P., Merif J., Kaur K., Nair J., Huntington P.G., Karagiannis T., Stark D., Rawlinson W., Olma T., Thomas L., Melki J.R., and Millar D.S.. Improved detection of gastrointestinal pathogens using generalised sample processing and amplification panels. Pathology 46(1), pp. 53–59, January 2014.
