3256. PCR. Intestinal infections panel. Bacteria_7: Shigella spp./Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli, Campylobacter spp., Yersinia enterocolitica, Vibrio spp., Clostridium difficile toxin B, Aeromonas spp., Salmonella spp. (stool, qualitative definition)

Bacterial gastroenteritis (acute intestinal infections) occurs during infection with bacteria such as Shigella, Salmonella, enteroinvasive and enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli, Yersinia enterocolitica, Campylobacter, Clostridium, Staphylococcus and some others. In addition to bacteria, the cause of acute intestinal infections can be Giardia lamblia and Entmoeba histolytica or viruses (adeno-, oral, norovirus, etc.).

Infection with bacteria occurs through household contact or through contaminated food, water, or dirty hands. Bacterial infections of the stomach or intestines can affect one person or a group of people who have eaten the same food. This is usually called food poisoning.

Bacterial acute intestinal infection is most dangerous for patients under 2 years of age, the elderly, people with chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and immunodeficiency conditions. Another vulnerable category for acute intestinal infections are travelers. In some geographic areas, up to 60% of tourists may be affected by traveler's diarrhea if they stay longer than 2 weeks.

This screening for bacterial acute intestinal infections allows you to identify and differentiate DNA (RNA) of microorganisms of the genus Shigella (Shigella spp.), enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC), salmonella (Salmonella spp.), thermophilic compilobacterium (Cyl. bacteria of the genus Aeromonas in clinical material using the Real method time PCR.

ATTENTION: when ordering tests for bacterial and viral intestinal infections at the same time, the material must be delivered in different containers.

Studies are prescribed to make a diagnosis; carrying out differential diagnostics; choice of treatment tactics; screening before inpatient treatment; identification of bacteria carriers.
