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 fragilisEntamoeba complex, and Giardia intestinalis from clinical stool samplesDiagnostic 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.
